Gotta try that epoisses next summer when I’m working at CERN with the CMS as a summer trainee (boy I’m pumped about getting there \o/).

Do not rush the magic at CERN.
Take your time, be safe, and get it right.
As Miracle Max said:
Don’t rush me kid, you rush a miracle maker…you get lousy miracles.

That’s it; if they are serving epoisses then count me out!

Does #20 mean that nobody is getting wider?

I can attest to most of the things in this list, specially the difficulty of using the washing and drying machines. Even if the instructions are in English and French, you must read them very carefully and then test if you understood them by trail and error (In the meantime you hope that your Swiss francs won’t go away)

You have a few typos there!

The LHC is definitely the most impressive machine ever built! I’m so impatient for it to be brought back on-line! Why do they have to delay it so much anyway?

Visitors with CERN contracts can actually get paid at the real bank across from the post office. Of course, getting UBS to open a bank account for an American is a real trick and involves proving that you really do live in Switzerland.

Also, I’m guessing at least your office has its own door. My office is accessed through another office because there is an electrical panel where the door should be.
