Game, Set and Match
Keeping numbers in check and making them tally is something
that few can command. It takes something quite special, and, one of those with an
understanding in depth of the juggling
of ins and the reducing of outs is Gregor Trieb of Vienna. He is a man who makes things add-up!
As accountant and company
secretary, his job
is not only to ensure that the company’s wheels stay financially oiled, but, also,
that the present performance fits in with last year’s predictions! A task that
requires all of the discipline of one of
the hardest studies of all!
But, life in general is a balance sheet, too! And, by using his well practiced skills,
Gregor is able to evenly spread the right percentages of time for his free-time
activities, too. And, topping the list with the biggest slice of the cake is Ulli,
his wife, and Katherine, their daughter of 5. And, the rest of the cake that’s
left over is there for his interests and hobbies, and one is a bit of a racket!
Tennis is not only Gregor’s way of keeping
the stress of his job well and truly in check, but it keeps him very fit, too.
And, being fit is one of the conditions for enjoying the best that life offers,
and, Austria
offers the best of all wines.
And this is the most
fluid of his
interests. He is a true connoisseur, and, what Gregor knows about wine is
simply amazing! And, his cellar, being perfectly stocked, is all that is needed
for a well deserved glass, when it’s
game, set and match, at the end of each day!
