Day 265: September 22, 2015
Diary entry:
Quite a long day today!
Had a 9AM appointment in De Haag, so started my day at 4:30AM to be sure I arrived on time. Followed this up with a drive back to Veldhoven, where my final meeting was scheduled for 1PM to 7PM.
Big meeting, a deep dive on project one, including my company’s COO and CFO. A bit imposing, especially since I had not yet met the CFO and had not really worked with the COO in three years. But I think it all went pretty well.
Had a dinner afterwards with my former business partner from Taiwan. Was good to catch up!

Beerze 7.5 by Brouwerij De Gouden Leeuw. More bitter than fruity blonde. Which I prefer. Actually, this is quite good.
