Now that this thread has had a rejuvenation, and I have also had a change in career paths, I might as well add mine: I work in Commercial Real Estate Sales. I help broker transactions of Commercial Properties, and it has taken up a lot of my time, which is the reason that I am not on here as much as I used to be.

So if anyone wants to buy a big office tower or shopping centre in my area... feel free to let me know

Well if I thought I could work with Grigoros I might consider a location for a high end watch store..............

But probably not the whole mall :wink:

I've also changed jobs recently but I'm still working in Banking as an analyst/banking.

Enjoying the challenge and excitement that comes with working for a new company

It was a good move!

I'm actually semi serious. I haven't done much research yet, but it strikes me that there is tremendous opportuntiy in Canada because La Swiss is not well managed. The problem is dealing with Grigoros, but I might get back to you....

Put short, I'm an Operations Manager. :mrgreen:

Until recently, I've been working for a Swedish automotive company as a consultant.
Well, not anymore, but I don't blame it on the economy (alone).
To be honest, lately I've been feeling that it's time for a change anyway.
I haven't yet figured out what that should be, but I sure hope it will be for the better.

Well, originally both SAAB and Volvo were Swedish. Difficult to say if they're still Swedish today, as GM interferes with SAAB and Ford interferes with Volvo. However, Koenigsegg is also Swedish, albeit with some help from Norwegian investors.

Of course, you're right, that's a valid point. I probably should've written ex-Swedish.
Not that it matters too much for me now anyway.

Sorry, my side note was more directed to Oester than you. Hope your situation will solve rather quickly though!

Actually, that's good to hear. The C30 that's put together there is a pretty good car IMHO.
