Posted Dec 20, 2006
Tomorrow it´s Winter Solstice here in the North. The light returns and that can be a reason to have festivities.
So, Fellow Researchers, enjoy the return of the light and celebrate that in the way it pleases you most!
...and you down under - why not celebrate that it's the lightest period of the year at the moment

Full time scientist...and waiting for payrise...
Posted Mar 6, 2006
Full time scientist since Wibble 1st of Lunatic...do I have to say more? Yes, it’s lunatic...six months from now I’m supposed to have finished my PhD... at last..
So far I’ve been on this trail for 9½ years, combining it with a full time job as MD, raised the hatchlings and tried hard to stay out of the Uni Hospital as patient. My 
and I have not agreed on this, but I can be more stubborn than an old goat... and I never got the hang on why you’re supposed to be an inpatient just because the need of a MRI, a CAT scan or a lumbar puncture. I can do a lot of work while waiting... and can easily be reached by my beeper when it’s time to lie down in any buzzing machine. So I guess if it wasn’t for the recurring bad 
and never ending weight bouncing I’d handle this myself… which of course is no good…
Naturally I won’t be able to totally be absent from my clinical duties, but at least there will be no scheduled sessions. That’s the good thing with this deal; the Uni will be responsible for enough of my salary to demand their right to my time and efforts. More teaching of course, but that’s quite fun, even if 3rd year medical students sometimes can be a real pain in the a**… and out of some peculiar reason they get younger and more lazy for every year 
So it’s just to get the ball rolling, work hard and avoid distractions the upcoming six months. But hopefully I’ll have time for a few favourite distractions….hootoo for instance
… and tomorrow I’ve actually scheduled a meeting with my boss to discuss my salary…I don’t consider my lack of testicles to be a legitimate reason for paying me less than my male colleagues…

...in the last moment...as always...
Posted Nov 9, 2005
Why does a printer ALWAYS make trouble when it´s most inapproprate? At the moment I´m, at least trying to, print out some 200+ pages... Restart, rerun, change ink cartridge, curse, change printer.... I started at 3 o´clock and now it´s past 7... Now its feeding the paper properly, making nice black and white printouts, and not all of them are wrongly placed at the paper...
and I wanna go home 
I´m leaving at 5:30 tomorrow morning and I´ve not even started packning yet...
My presentation is loaded into my USB gadget, and into at least one similar gadget belonging to one of the other grad students. No more changes 
... them ole boys are not going this time, so there will be no last minute changes... and no ticket of my own... "we all travel with my card"...said the youngest of the grad students... Hopefully everything will go smoothly... e-tickets are my choice of tickets, but I prefer to have my own... epecially when going to US via Germany... and flying an american carrier...
Paranoid bureaucrats seem to have find their very favourite hang-outs at american carriers. This time I will not bring my laptop, hence the print-outs, and remember to pack all items with a slightly pointy resemblence into my suitcase... No laser pointer in my purse and have all my medication in labeled boxes...
I bought a new book, and I must remember to bring earplugs... long flights are boring... might help
Gone ´til the end of next week!
See ya!
