Annual raclette dinner at Cosmos Biel, our office community. A lovely evening. Paid from the office fund.
We struggle more with other expenses.
As every year, we hold our duo quality discussion in December. And, as every year, we do it on a Finnish sauna boat on Lake Biel.
Then comes the inevitable moment: we give each other feedback. Even after more than twenty years of working together – and even though we've even written an entire book about collaboration – this moment always plunges us into a small crisis.

In 16th-century England, there were two types of one-pound coins: one made of gold and one of copper. Although the gold coin was worth more than the copper coin (because it was gold), the face value of both coins was the same. This meant that one beer cost one pound, regardless of whether it was paid with the gold or copper coin. This had consequences: people exchanged the copper coins for the gold ones and melted them down. (automatic, unedited translation from German)

- We've found that at the end of the year, a look back is actually more appropriate than a look ahead. And then we did jot down three resolutions for 2025. (automatic, unedited translation from German)
