[Dutch Lock Down Day Four Hundred Two]
Sure, I’ve been super sick for a few days, but I have high hopes for this week.
First, though, I am entirely over the moon to announce that I have filed to create a company, Groningen Rain BV, here in the Netherlands.
But first the news:
- Brabant hospitals at breaking point, IC wards are now full
- Over 100 people fined for illegal party in Zeist
- [Video] How to survive King’s Day in lockdown
The new company is basically just a reflection of my brand and, well, the job description.
Build Awareness,
Support Collaboration,
and Embrace Community
But generic.
