This was one of the years where the holidays all fall on weekdays, so you get maximum amount of Christmas break for a minimum of vacation days spent. I was home for 17 days, for the cost of 5 vacation days.

Yesterday was my first day back at work after the break. I spent most of it on getting my new computer up and running. It was all installation files and license keys and VPN configurations and access tokens. Bleh.

Today was my first full day at the office at Active Solution. I was told that Wednesdays are a good day to come in if I want to meet people, because there is Wednesday fika in the afternoon.

The office had a very homey vibe, quite unlike the sleek lines of the tretton37 office. A slightly labyrinthine layout, soft carpets in muted tones, throw pillows, and lots of plants.
