If I was a project manager at some construction firm, this is how I would show up at the construction site on Monday morning (in my head of course). An all black outfit or dressing in dark colors in general gives off some sense of authority or seriousness that go a long way in asserting a certain position. Don't you agree?

Almost 10years & €789 millions later, the Elbphilarmonie was officially opened to the public by Hamburg's Mayor, Olaf Scholz. So of course there was no way we were going to wait any longer to see it & all I can say is that the wait was well worth it.
