That time of year...

At 4 pm on a Friday a month before Christmas....and it's getting dark already outside. Motivation to work slowly dissipates. Here in Munich, we've been blanketed in snow already - pretty early in the year for us. But I hear most of Europe is getting slammed with snow. Just down the road from our building there is a little Christmas market...that sells nice hot Glüwein...that was too tempting for all of us an hour ago. So we packed ourselves into our jackets and hats and mufflers and gloves and took a time out drinking a mug of the steaming wine....and now back to work. For...an hour max...
