Ausl�nderausweis Livret pour �trangers
Libretto per stranieri
Legitimaziun d'esters

...these wonderful words adorn the cover of the lilac coloured bookled containing that which makes me perfectly legal in Switzerland!!! After some back and forth, and time spent waiting in some public office with a ticket obtained from a machine after pushing the "Ausl�nder" button (of course the Swiss queue moves quicker than the one for foreigners) I got my permission to stay and work for 364 days :-)

Very cool.

Not so cool are the IT problems I am facing at the moment... It is no secret that our server in the office is slowly dying, but now my own computer is going a bit crazy. I spent 2 hours on the Apple helpline, and now the guy I spoke to told me to call back in the morning so that I can talk to some "specialists" who can apparently sort out whatever may be wrong with my beloved ibook... It (no, actually, she) does not want to connect with the printer, and then all kinds of programmes crash... not really mac-like. I hope I do not have to spend all day tomorrow wiping off and re-installing everything, which the guy I spoke to vaguely insinuated. Ahhhhh the joys of IT.
Also I discovered that the Safari browser does not display the tool on aiesec.net properly which I will have to use to update our aiesec.ch website. All it shows is crazy html code, which is not even sorted, but in a big block, making it hard to distinguish and read it. Great.

Well. Tomorrow we are taking over!! Wow. So I really am going to be MCVPER tomorrow. Will I be able to live up to my own expectations? Maybe this is not the right question to ask? Maybe I should rather ask about all the things I will learn and figure out on the way. The learning curve is not going to flatten any time soon, that is for sure!

What an opportunity, what a life!

And like Sabi and I were saying just now, the most important thing that the four of us (Rob, Zuzka, Sabi and I) pull it through. And we will.  ¶ 8:51 PM
