First Day at Work

So my first day at work is behind me and I'll shortly write how it was... pretty unspectacular, but I had a lot of fun! :-)

I arrived in DERI at 10 and there was like hardly anyone around! So I got some papers to read with administrative stuff (oh yes, I think that DERI is secretly a nuclear facility and that's WHY I had to sign all those non-disclosure, secrecy, whatever agreements) and other infos and got a coffee from our kitchen. It's quite cool, there's coffee for free and there's also water from these big water-cooler thingies. After like 20 minutes my boss, VinhTuan, showed up and he showed me some more things. He also introduced me to some more people (hehe, I can't remember half the names...). There's quite a few people at DERI and also they come from all over the world.

Then because my laptop wasn't there yet, the boss of the boss, Sigi was travelling today. So VinhTuan gave me some papers to read and this book, I had read all 5 papers by 5 and there wasn't really anything else to do, so I went home. It was quite interesting to read all about VinhTuan's research, lots of new things I have never before seen or heard of, but I think now I kind of have a good overview.

Lunch was great too, Simon and Lukasz told me that usually everyone brings their own lunch, so I brought some prepared lunch. I ate with VinhTuan and we talked a lot and he told me some stories :-). So I guess we got along well and I'm positive about working with him.

So at about 15 past 5 I left and decided I was gonna bake a special kind of bread (Dreikönigskuchen) because I didn't have one of them on the 6th. So now it just came out of the oven and I'm awaiting judgement from my flat mates... They're still awesome :-) and we'll watch a movie now... So I kinda gotta go.

A yeah after dinner I played some more little big planet with Lukasz :-). That's just the most amazing game and sooo much fun.

So all in all my first day at work was great and I'm looking forward to getting my laptop tomorrow :-).
