This time I decided to go for a classic one … A Clockwork Orange! Nice book by Anthony Burgess about some veck (guy that means) in his youth taking part in some weird rehabilitation program … but I don’t wanna write too much about the actual story … cause its definitely worth reading. Just to mention that its sometimes a bit hard to read cause of all the slang words used throughout the text.
Well … not much happaning besides work these days, as you might have guessed from the little number of posts during the last days … on the other hand I didn’t do much work on the weekendm which was supposed to be reserved for work … oh man … anyway …
On Friday I drove Heidi, Esben and Troels to Lyon, so that they could catch there cheap flight, and visited the town for the rest of the day … its quite a nice city (as I already noticed in 2005) … and again I didn’t spent enough time there …
Yesterday I spent quite some time at a police station since one of my friends got his wallet stolen while we were out for dinner … and after that we ended up in some strange pub … but obviously not strange enough to drive us out …
Today I was again working on my ‘new’ webpage instead of doing work … so the pressure (got two talks, a validation shift and the CERN Guide introduction this week) is increase … but again obviously not enough …
Anyway … for those interested I put up a new picture of my room in Geneva …<
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 …
