My new job: Computers and Society

Maybe it's not as great as working for Google, but it comes close: I got a job at the "Computers and Society " department of the computer science faculty at the TU Berlin :-)

 

My main task will be administrative work, teaching and to some limited extent, research. For those who know this department, it's no surprise: The teamwork here is great, everyone is throwing around ideas and gives input for the work of the colleagues. Labour times are highly flexible (as long as no students are involved) and I finally have the chance to put the center of my living to the university. The first thing I did was fridge.addItem("UHT-Milk"); because everyone else here seems to drink his coffee black, but I need milk ;-)

 

All I now need is a good laptop to work effectively. I'm thinking about buying a ThinkPad T-something but they are everything but cheap. Let's see if I can figure something out for this problem ... but probably I'll end up buying a brand new one :-)
