Some Real Life™ after two weeks of stage at General Electric. First of all, the guys here are still as cool as last summer. The (almost) hourly traditional meeting at the coffee machine are a good way to discuss and exchange jokes with my colleagues (one of them is particularly fond of the stupid and sexual ones, my ears are starting to ache).
My works is, as expected, terribly interesting. The real advantage is that I can test my EEE in a real situation (test concluding in my case). I even found a free-and-badly-secured WiFi access point to connect to which, thankfully, remove some of the limitations (IRC to name it) of the proxy-fied access I have with PC here (btw guys, always change the default password of your routers, online documentation is pretty good at revealing them and you don’t know how many bored little hacker are around).
What I enjoy the most for the moment are : the absence of significative homeworks, the lunchs with Marianne, the parties at MouMan’s place and of course the coffee costing only 15cents. The main disadvantage is that, when I come back home, I have no motivation to do real work (coding that is). Which mean my productivity have dramatically fallen to near-zero. Even when I actually write some code, it’s just to make me wonder the next day what the hell I was thinking of at that moment. That’s especially bad since I have to practice for Prologin which is happening in two weeks (hotel reserved this morning).
Now it’s 16h59 on my clock, hell, time to start packing for the trip back home and, then, to tonight crepe party (\o/).
PS: I will add one or two photos when I come back home.
PS2: I’m really looking forward to a real stage like ST40.
