Looking for the summer

Looking for the summer

On the optimistic peak

I guess that, like in any job, you go through various mood curves: you start all excited and seeing only hues and shades of pink - that would be at a Himalayan altitude. Then you realise you have to write the company's founding papers (Die Statuten) in German - and that's about where you discover the true depth of the Mariana Trench. Then - with a lot of help from your friends and advisors - you actually get to the point of signing the final registration papers and the public notary congratulates you. Celebration. When you finally wake up from the bubbly induced euphoria you realise that, just because you exist it doesn't mean you're alive. Yet. And you set a new world record in diving.
But then comes the moment when patches of crumbled projects start letting through a glimpse of commonality - wow: we have a couple of assignments. No pressure. Not tonight (last night was another story: didn't get a minute's sleep, worrying about one of them). Tonight we celebrate.
And get ready for the next round of free diving.
