My Conclusion about the ProjectWizards Workation
At the end of July, I reported here that we would be traveling to Leeuwarden in the Netherlands with the entire ProjectWizards team for a workation. Now that we've been back for a few days, it's time to summarize our time together.
Our boss, Frank Blome, sent a rough plan for the workation to everyone before they arrived:
-
We meet every morning at 9:00 a.m. at breakfast and discuss, who is planning which activities for the day.
-
A table has been reserved for dinner in the evening. Everyone is invited to join.
-
Have fun and enjoy yourselves.
