I had a meeting with Illeana today. She needs to shape up if she is going to last at IKEA. I also told her that I would like her to win, but it was not true. I was just trying to motivate her, I'm not playing favorites you know…

Illeana is not bringing the kind of show biz sparkle to IKEA that Justine is and Co-Worker downsizing is not out of the question. The recession has hit IKEA as well as other companies. People are not buying as many furniture as they used to. So go out and buy some IKEA furniture if you want Illeana to keep her job. That was a joke, kind of…

Now I'm off to eat some delicious meatballs with lingonberry jam at the IKEA cafeteria.

Hejdå allihopa!
