That’s it, that’s all – good-bye STI! But before I go, here is what it was like (and so much more):

• a nurse / a Dirndl / Trinity II / an iPhone
• marriages / divorces / babies
• nervous breakdowns / hysterical laughter / tears of frustration / eyebrows raised in confusion or disbelief or utter shock / trying to make sense of it all (mostly in vain) / smiles /hugs / screams / whispers
• enough emails received, answered, deleted to last for a lifetime
• 389 days of travelling all over the world
• countless reports, deliverables, white papers, posters, flyers, websites, blogs, wikis, slide decks, social dinners, working lunches, meetings, telecons
• being pushed into a swimming pool in Tenerife
• lots of friends, a few enemies
• 6 different laptops / 2 different buildings / 4 different offices
• dragging an entire project consortium up to the Seegrube during a snow storm
• leading another project consortium from Arzler Alm back down to the city in the dark (without casualties!)
• a roasted Chinese pig with electric eyes that blinked
• DERI movies
• calling room service from a certain villa in Crete at 4 a.m. to order 3 additional bottles of Ouzo
• Omair dancing on a bar counter
• Soccer games / BBQs / costume Xmas parties
• “Are we gaga?” / “I have no glue.”
• Going on sightseeing tours to every tiny Tyrolean village with the FOURSEASON shuttle service …
