Weekend

First, I would like to apologize for not updating the MoLa diary yesterday. Those of you knowing me well do remember for sure that I'm a lazy person. ;-) And of course, I have a lame excuse for it: I was just to busy introducing the new MoLa-crew members into everything.

Actually, we had a pasta-and-garlic-bread party on Saturday night, and it was over somewhen around 2 A.M., and ... I awoke with a bad headache on Sunday morning. ;-)

Nevertheless, we also had a lot of work to do. One of our instruments had a problem, because another instruments exhaust was heating up its stand. So, I became "MacGyver" and created a heat shield using bubble wrap and some cable ties.


The funny thing with temperature here is: during the day it's quite warm (around 20°C), but as soon as the sun goes away it's getting quite cold. Unfortunately, we had to calibrate our mass spectrometer today. And since we missed the calibration time in the morning, we could not start earlier than 6 pm. By the time the calibration was finished it was half past seven, but I was frozen to the bone. That's why I will finish now and go "home" to avoid a cold that will otherwise catch me for sure! ;-)
