Happy girl

Work is tough: I've felt overwhelmed by it for some weeks now and it will take several more weeks until I will get a grip on things again. There are many challenges my team will have to face, but we'll pull through... eventually.

I felt rather down today, just tired and worn out. And then I read the news and realized that I ENJOYED reading the news once more! Obama only became president one day ago (and what a great inauguration that was, and what an inspiring speech) and already there are good news to enjoy!

Only have the links to the German articles:
Guantanamo will be closed; a second order is drafted that ensures that top-secret CIA prisons will be closed; also any kind of torture will be forbidden:

Obama's speech to his employees concerning work ethics, lobbyism etc.

Great, isn't it? Here are links to the stories in English, if you want them. :)
