Four more days to go… at least for me. During the show I saw some old buddies of mine from R.I.T… David and Lim. Small world isn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am starting to like working my b#tt off all day, and partying my head off all night :p<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting to see a pattern… do the same for 10, 20, or 30 years, and you will start to understand what kind of <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dieter runs on…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect example of a typical day for Dieter: Image taken right before Dieter goes to bed for a POWER nap at 6:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dieter talking to Christoph and Helmut at 10:00am… HOW DOES HE DO THAT?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since I had a good (6 hours!) night sleep the evening before, I did three english demos in a row, and lost my voice (ha ha). Decided to hide out in the kitchen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ralph closed a 30-seat ORIS Page deal last night. GOOD JOB Ralphie!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ralph: “Hey Helmut, you know what I accomplished last night?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Helmut: “Leave me alone, I am hungry. Can we get some munchies here?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ralph: “Hmmm. Helmut is not impressed with my master sales techniques. There is only ONE thing left to do…”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Ralph: “Tell me I am good, or I will tickle you to death! I am the best! I am the best!”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Helmut’s order for munchies was fulfilled. The standard cheese plate from Ruttenscheider-Hof<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15 minutes – and 10 kgs. of cheese later… Helmut: “Okay, I am full now. Time for me to take a nap.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Uwe retreats to bed at 3:00 am… then returns at 4:00 Looked like he’s seen a ghost in his room… Just kidding – Uwe worked hard and seemed very tired.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally at 5:00, Helmut and Ralph decide to arrange for their wake-up call (2 hours later)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
