Euro2008: Go Germany! [Updated]

in , , , ,
So, now it's just a few hours away. The single biggest sporting event of 2008 - the Euro2008 final between Spain and Germany!

They're both great teams who truly deserve their shot at gold, but only one can go down in history as winners. No matter who wins I'll be happy, but I've chosen to throw my support behind the Germans.

The spaniards have more star players, especially Fabregas is a genius with the ball, and they have played brilliantly all the way through the tournament. Nevertheless I feel more for Germany and think that with their enthusiastic style of play they may well pull off another miracle in the Alps.

Jetzt geht's los!

UPDATE: Congratulations to Spain on a well deserved victory.

What's in a name?

When working in Germany I kept hearing people refer to der Böse Chef, meaning literally the evil boss, when discussing their jobs and work life experiences.

In my mind, der Böse Chef personifies all impopular decisions a boss takes, whether needed or not, in the line of duty. Since I have always nurtured a dream of running my own company or business, at least part time, I hope this blog can help me become my own evil boss. I would probably drive myself nuts changing requirements of the software I would be developing more often than your average cook washes his hands.

Hence the name of the blog.

Update: It is probably worth pointing out that although I haven't always agreed with every decision my current and previous bosses have ever taken, I can't claim to have any firsthand experience of a truly evil boss.
