2009 resumée

d has finished writing her thesis. but she still has to study for two exams before she can hand in her magnificent work which will recreat science. so, if everything goes well, at the end of january the thesis will go to the two referees and at the end of april or so there will be the defense.

just to let you know ...

new work: austrian science board

alas, d is getting to know politics. a weird business. the new job definitely is exciting. for example she was taking part in the "hochschuldialog" which is this strange group of 50 people discussing about

education vs. professional education
=
bildung vs. ausbildung

- this funny debate in germany and austria. anyways, it was exciting to be there.

the new office is big. really big.

the science board itself is somewhat conservative which is not in favour of my taste. that is unfortunate. we will see.

now christmas is coming and i am looking forward to eating, drinking, and relaxing. although the last two months were not as stressful as i had thought in the beginning i am still very tired after a long year without holidays. 10 days break will hopefully recover my strength.

cat stories.

our four mietzies (pussycats) are grown up by now. 3 guys (bagira, pauli and herr kafka) and a girl (kali, the black devil). tough cats they are. still staying outside during the nights (well, they have to). but: they got a cathouse.

all four of them are desexed now (the vet gave us 10% discount). poor kitties, but it had to be. one got a little trauma.

d really loves her cats and cannot imagine living without them anymore. every day you wake up and you open the door. and as soon they hear the noise of the door, they run towards you and rub against your legs. they are so cute. beautiful.

maybe some pictures over christmas.

well that's it. no much is happening. i was shopping like crazy because i needed a bunch of new outfits for the office.

happy holidays everyone!
and let 2010 be a blessed year with great new adventures!
