Crying in the »Don't Worry Institute«

No, »Anti-Ärger-Institut« is not a new nickname for Halle University's English Department, but it's an idea one of my former bosses came up with. Ms. Wonneberger, CEO of the German software Internet company Nutzwerk — infamous for establishing an anti-whinging and anti-complaining clause in the contracts — will open her »institute« tonight at one of Leipzig's most exclusive locations. And we are invited. Not that there is any academic approach behind this institution, but it can be best described as a kind of menthal beauty farm. New Economy meets New Age.
1999 at its best. Actually, we consider bringing our three months old son to this party, although I'm not sure whether he will follow the strict be happy rules. At least, nobody will complain if he decides to express his feelings through crying.

Thank you for asking, but we didnt't go there, because I left my Wittenberg office too late, and Leonard wasn't in the right mood for partying that day anyway...

I guess you have to reload the page in your browser window. Depends on the browser settings.
