I actually would prefer if dates were listed year-month-day. When labeling files by date, they sort nicely like that

It is perhaps written mm-dd because that is how we say it. Like today is August 28th. We typically dont say the 28th of August. Or maybe we say it that way because thats how we write it?

Haha, actually that doesn't sound bad.

And I'm pretty happy with our Euro office right now, as they're showing interest in my work. It's always good to have another region paying attention to you.
