When I was writing the post before, I just thought of my evening yesterday, cooking and eating with five computer guys.. :) In case you read this, I want to tell you that it was one of the most pleasant evenings I spent in quite a while and I really felt like at home.
Big hugs and thank you.

Ridiculous
Today I was asked by one of my collegues if I wouldnt occasionally be fed up with my nearly exclusively male coursemates.. I have to admit that this happens occasionally, and usually I will escape to my all girls hall to relax from it...
However, there is this new tendency of non computer science people to absolutely ridicule everything that has to do with the matter (and it seems to happen especially if they have asked a question and dont understand the answer. Instead of making them feel bad about it, I am idiotic enough to try to explain in a simple way what it is about). So I seriously wonder why people will be so disrespectful towards their emergency 'angels' whom they wont let go to bed or even let eat in peace once their computer has the slightest flaw (let alone a complete disaster).
To be honest, these situations nearly make me feel homesick to my fellow 'weirdos' and the faculty, a place where next to hard work and desperation also understanding and respect for ones work can be found...
If any of you reading this post is a non computer scientist, spend a second thinking if you tend to bash the people that are employed in this sort of job that to you might seem absolutely counter intuitive and weird.. and if yes, think if it might be the case that you do them seriously wrong. Oh, and maybe also think whom you're calling at midnight if your computer has something funny...
Have a nice evening.
