First impressions of Switzerland and work

Posted on July 4, 2013 By admin 1 Comment on First impressions of Switzerland and work

– The commute is going to be fairly longish, but fine.
– Prices here are INSANE.
– Horse meat, when you’re expecting it, is really tasty.
– My work laptop has a swiss QWERTZ keyboard. It’s driving me mad. I’ve remapped it to US English and generally ignore the meaningless symbols on the keyboard.
– The Swiss make good bread, great coffee, but shit tea.
– There is a very big smoking culture here. Stopping will be a bitch.
– The science that Nestle plans on doing is impressive. Really impressive. Almost tempting me to get back to the bench. Almost.
– YAAAAAAAY, papwrwork!!!!!!

Quote of the day

Rumour is information distilled so finely that it can filter through anything. It does not need doors and windows -- sometimes it does not need people. It can exist free and wild, running from ear to ear without ever touching lips.
--(Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay)
