Becoming a Crystallographer

This is the blog of a future crystallographer, not that crystallography is the main area of discussion. I'll maybe mention it once in a while, while writing about my life and other things.

So today was the first day

Slightly tired. Today was the first day at work. The day was mostly a weird experience of German punctuality combined with the weirc fact that we we not on schedule after like two hours and it seemed like a really big mess. It was also a rather hot day which didn't really help the hurry. I got tons of paper and had to remember what was going where and what I needed to get what and when. Without so even noticing or really knowing what was happening (well I did but it was all a big mess of non-communication and I felt a bit stupid and like a kid) I had openened a bank account and signed some sort of secrecy agreement that I had not read before and couldn't in the hurry since it was like 10 pages in German. Well the good thing is I got my ID card so I can get to work tomorrow and I even got a few peoples phone numbers and plans are on the way to going something with them. I wasn't the only non-German induvidual and I even found another vegetarian so we were diffucult together.

I also got a new phone today. Wasn't planning on it but it's all good. The best things sometimes happen suddenly without planning. I have grown really tired of hte way my phone's menu-buttom keeps either not working or pressing it's self twice when I just want to do it once. Locking the keypad has become something I dread. But all is better now. My new Nokia 6030 has buttons that don't need but a little pushing and voila. Son't know anything about the phone I just bought but it should be able to send sms-messages to all the new friends I'll be getting (well hopefully at least a few) and able me to call them without having to pay lots and lots. That is all phones need to do and there ain't no-one who can tell me different. :P

Right now I need to get sleeping or something. It's been a long day and tomorrow will surely be as long. Awaiting tomorrow though to find out where I will actuallly work since today I just got to do general orientation that wasn't all too great at that either. Oh and I still haven't got an apartment but that problem should maybe be solved tomorrow. Hopefully. (Lots of hoping I know)
