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

People whose concept of ancient history is the first series of Star Trek may be treated with patience, because it's usually not their fault they were reduced to getting their education from school.
--(Terry Pratchett, alt.books.pratchett)
