    Job
In summary: Originally posted by Monique And Hurkyl, that was a reply to me? There is nothing wrong with working full-time, nothing wrong with working over-time either if the job is good. The point is that there is so little energy left in the evenings to study when you are a student, right? I mean, the only timeframe for me is 20-22h right now, and that leaves no time for relaxation (time for PF can always be made...).

Research in Biomedical Sciences is fun!

Maintenance Technician for HP.

I keep the tools that do wafer level processes for ink jet cartriges running. We are currently producing the pens for the latest generation of HP printers. If you have one of the new model HP printers, the heart of its pens went through one of my tools.

I am a poor student majoring in computer science, spending most of my time in the library, sleeping under the desks and programming web applications for a quick buck. Oh i also like to search the internet for interesting sites like this one. My hobbies are reading and studying mathematics and physics.
