So, at last it is finalized. From first of November, I'm leaving my current work and trying to find my luck as a consultant at a company called Tritech (http://tritech.se). It's scary, but also freeing in a sense. Loosing a luggage isn't easy, but the feeling when you realize that you didn't need most of the stuff in it is quite nice (unless the feeling that you really needed that stuff comes instead :).
Where does this feeling come from then? Well, I think it is related to the feeling of freedom that you might get when on vacation and temporarily disconnected from the stuff you own and people you know, or breaking up a demanding relationship, or perhaps what (some people might) feel when their house burns to the ground. It can be devastating, but there is also something inherently good in it.
I don't really know what I want to say, but I think that one should be aware that after being in one place for a long time, physically or mentally, the expectations of other people and our own expectations upon ourselves make a heavy burden to bear. Beware.
However, what makes life interesting is creating those relations, to people, places or the work you do. So you're screwed anyway. ;) Unless you find a way to create relationships without feeling burdened by those. Is that possible? Anyway, gotta get some breakfast now.

Cool you're moving on man! But - I must say I'm a little bit sad too... i've always regarded Kreatel (before it became Moto) as the perfect company... a lot of young guys and gals... and a pingis table in the lunch room... cool product... the only thing that was missing was ME! Hehe... you know... I sometimes wonder how my life would have turned if I had worked there, if I would have taken the path I'm proudly walking on now. But - well have make our kindergarten-company with toys for adults (mmm!) some other time!
Regarding your question "to have or not to have".. Before I moved to USA, but after I realised I wanted to do something else, I felt physically bad when I bought something. For example, if I bought a new TV, I would feel bad, as the TV itself was tying me down to a place where I didn't want to be. But! To make the situation more complicated, I saw all my friends buying cool things, and actually having fun using these things... GAH... Strange situation... where you have money and all, but you can't buy stuff, because it makes you sick, but you envy other on their stuff.
So - I concurr - anyway we are fu*ked... :-)
(Now I am cured and am actually thinking about buying a Wii!)
Panta rei, man. Kreatel is no more, Motorola is in place. ;) It's still a cool place to work on, lots of young people, fussbal game (no space for table tenis) and nice chicks, but it is not the same. I miss the small company Kreatel was.
Anyway, I'm glad you feel cured and Wii seems cool, I played a couple of games at Eriks. Just be careful those things don't start owning you. =)
