working for the swedes

OMX, a big Scandinavian financial-industry powerhouse, bought up our tiny Icelandic company as part of a deal with Kaupþing, the biggest bank in Iceland. Here's hoping this is a good thing for me and my coworkers. It's hard not to feel like a pawn in the hands of a Nordic Gordon Gekko at times like this, but part of the agreement keeps us eating lunch with our former company and its excellent company chef, so at least there'll be still be plokkfiskur on Mondays.
