If it works it works

indian philosophy of our indian colleague.
His experimental setup is rarely failing

It has to work it has to work it has to work or I´ll make it work
my philosophy
My experimental setup is always misworking (when it works)

Am I missing something???????

administrative staff vs researchers = 1-0

There is no way, the administratives will always win.
This week the air conditioning in the ring has been stopped due to maintenance reasons. Of course this was the hottest week of the spring-summer period up to now (Murphy´s law never fails).
The ring was an oven and you could see baked researchers slowly boiling in front of their monitors.
Nothing happened
Then, the air conditioning system has been stopped in the offices.
Administrative staff rose up.
The next day, after an e-mail of apologize from the maintenance people, the air conditioning was up again.

So, lesson of the day: when the air conditioning goes down, put the administrative staff in the ring

When the going gets tough the tough gets going

Anyway, I am really tired keeping going. Why EVERY single step towards succes is like climbing the everest? Sometimes I would really like to give up...

Science seeker

June has come but summer not yet. Who cares, I am spending my life in the clean room! I think I will put my official residence place there...
Science is a very demanding lover. It makes you stay up to late in the night, it captures your thoughts in the strangest moments (under the shower, in the early morning in the slight border between sleeping and awaking), it makes you seek it in the weekend..
And then..
I am never able to catch it!
Sometimes I wish I never had met it at all
But there are moments, like seing the synchrotron hidden life on a sunny sunday morning, in which I really believe that this is the right place for me..
Lets hope that my boss has the same idea!
