Just finished the cleanup of my Geneva House Warming … its been a very evening with some (as approved by others) very nice chilli and a couple of other nice stuff brought in by my guests.
Writing about the guests … they also put some colour on my walls, finally.
The guestbook wallpaper was filled with its first entries …
If you want to be part just come on over … all yours!
Thanks to all of you who brought some food or even an inauguration present …
and special thanks to pot lenders …
Today I am having/had my first Pixel DCS (Detector Control System) Observer shift in the ATLAS Control Room.
Watching the baby from 15h to 23h … not much happening though!
In case you wanna be part of it … here you go! Live Webcams!
I am sitting in the front left arc in both pictures …
[Update]
It actually turned out to be two shifts in a row from 15h to ~7h … it got a bit more interesting at about midnight and when I finally managed to remind myself of the bus schedule I notice that the last one left already … voila, I stayed until the bus ran again and enjoyed the night shift, which was eventually more educative than my actual training shift …
Today the first posters of Heike’s ad for the Museum of Natural History Berlin appeared in town … she is on the homepage of the museum as well today. We already found some postcards during dinner yesterday …
This weekend I was back in the city of Berlin … and the weekend was BIG and exhausting!
I started out as black hole on Friday’s Halloween Party, continued as a guide talking about the LHC and stuff for about 5h at the Weltmaschine exhibition on Saturday (after just 4h30min of sleep), watched the new Coen Brothers movie “Burn After Reading” (which was amusing as usual) and had some very nice ‘price on request’ filet steak at Escados Berlin (hmmm tasty).
On Sunday I restarted with another 5h of talking about the LHC at the exhibition and had another nice dinner …
Its done! After an almost three weeks long odyssey of trying four different drill machines with all sorts of different drill heads I finally managed to get all the wanted holes into my walls this morning!
Apparently my walls are made of super solid rock and only the forth of the drill machines could handle this situation. Thanks to everyone that took part in this odyssey by offering a drill machine.
And special thanks to Julie for offering the one that actually worked ;)
As a result of this I can finally have a house warming :)
