Very technical day today, with just a few sessions. First one was about OEM, next one about Legal and last one about Procurement. Interesting breakouts, but sometimes a little bit too much in detail. I did learn some very convenient things though which can help me out while managing my expenses or trying to get approval for a budget for a certain project I’m setting up.

All in all, these were very busy days. In the course of this seminar, we also had a few interactive workshops. We were divided into small groups and each group had a topic to work on.

One group had to do a musical thing, another had to create a mascotte, I was in the ‘Sketch’ group and we had to make a sketch about ’something related to Microsoft’. Then there was also a support team and a group that needed to make a song.

The interactive workshop presentation is about to begin. After that we get our certificates of attending the MS 101 seminar and then there’s a closing session. Normally everything’s finished at 3 PM and a bus is going to take us back to the Munich airport.

Forecast of the airport: wait 3 hours until my flight is boarding :(

I think I’m going to make some phonecalls and sort out my inbox. That should bridge the gap. If all goes well I’ll be home at 10 or 11 PM.

I have to go to Redmond from February 2nd, but I’m still trying to work around the strike on Heathrow. The British ground staff is on strike and ‘just my luck’ I have to go over the UK with a British Airways flight. Hopefully AmEx can sort it out and get me on another plane via France or The Netherlands. I’d hate it so much if I have to miss the evangelist pre-TechReady summit in Seattle. Fingers crossed.
