A distant future.The year 2000.And ten.

So my last post of the year will be nothing less than quick and dirty 2009. In contrast to all other posts this will be a bit more personal, a mash-up of work and non-work stuff. A bit more Johan. Maybe not so interesting for all of you but a nice way to summarize and recap for me.

 

But first. No promises. Nothing given. But goals. Targets. Ambitions. For 2010. In no particular order.

• Run more kilometers than 2009 (4000min, 765,29km, 104times, 14.44km/week, 5:14min/km)
• Crush that PB in GBG-varvet and finally cross the finish-line below 1:40:00
• Recruit as many people to the Linköping office as we have people with connection to Gothenburg currently
• Talk at 3 conferences
• Mr 100%
• Jump higher with a horse than I ever have before
• Swim in at least one exotic ocean
• Continue to build on the good foundation from 2009 work-wise and go even further
• Stay ambitious

 I could go on and on. But no. 2009. Here you are.

  

2009 was the year when I

• Went back to Volvo Cars and enjoyed the new perspective
• Started to feel really really at home in Östergötland
• Learned xtUML and the benefits thereof
• Started to understand change management and business evolution for real from a practical perspective
• Got that second horse
• Still only have one wife though, when you have the best 1 is enough
• Got a new really good friend
• Lost a bit more contact than wanted with some of my old friends
• Got reconnected through the matrix with one of my oldest friends
• Had a fantastic Round Table year with 117
• Saw two monsters at low altitude over the water between Sweden and Denmark; a once in a lifetime experience.
• Enjoyed working at Know IT Technology Management
• Saw Leonard grow and become an even cooler kid than before
• Was Mr 100%
• Jumped higher with a horse than I ever did before
• Bought tickets to Iron Maiden 2010
• Played handball again
• Besides TM worked a lot with marketing issues
• Finally learned the benefits of symmetrical 4wd
• And so much more.

 But most of all 2009 was a very very good and happy year.
