The last year of the O’s

January 5, 2009 in Bleeding-edge Science, In 80 days around the world? | 4 comments

Or how do you actually call the years from 00 to 09? Nineties, Eighties, those are all simple and easy ways to refer to a decade, but what shall we call the first ten years of the 21st century?

So, anyway, here we are, another year has passed. Was an interesting year, but personally I prefer the odd years. Somehow the are more fun as the even ones… Intersting, huh? Think about it…

The last few weeks of ’08 were filled with a somwhat crazy travel schedule. It included a five day trip to India (turned out to be six since I was made to miss a flight), a bit of England here and there and good ol’ Hamburg.

India was a very interesting and intriguing experience. I was there for a workshop, so it was a business trip, but I had a very good time down there. I even made in into the news , can you guess where they refer to me? Now I feel like I have reached the peak of my career and I should retire before my star starts fading again…

So much or this brief hello, I will be back soon to write a bit more about my India visit.

    Well, semi or demi, like in demi-baguette and semi-circle, they could have mangled your name worse. Happy New Year, Anne

    Dr. Semiroers I pressume!

    Hoffe Du hast Dich wieder eingelebt nach der Weltenbummlerei.

    Was stimmt denn nicht mit den geraden Jahren?
    Das macht mich wirklich nachdenklich!
