It was 2:30am when I opened my peepers and that was that. My body had decided that it had slept enough and it was time to get up. This is because my body thought it was already 9:30am due to the 7 hour time difference. Jetlag is real and can be a bitch.
These 4 hours before I had to leave for work gave me time to get ready, get my clothes sorted out, make sure I had all the correct papers and books and notes that I needed, and check my emails. It was only when I had checked things about 4 times over did I realise that I was in fact just a little nervous about today. And looking back it was quite a day. Today was the day that I was really officially part of the planning team and introduced to all the senior management and other team members that I am going to be working with, eating, drinking and living with over the next few years. It went well.
Everything kind of went according to plan except for requiring passport photos for my work visa and the downpour that appeared from nowhere when I stepped outside to go get them. I was nice however to know some of the people in the office and that made for an easy entrance. This is going to be an exciting project and extremely challenging. There is just so much going on now. I was invited out for drinks tonight but I had to respectfully decline (rain-check) as I feel like my eyeballs are going to explode. I am so tired.
It’s 7pm now and that means I have been awake for way too many hours already. I am going to try and stay awake as long as possible and hopefully crack this stupid sleeping pattern my body has adopted. I do think Houston is going to be fun.
Shame HooX, hope you sleep well tonight…
In case it helps (spose not tho), I’ve been back from Japan since 22nd and I am STILL waking up at 0230 ! Rethom is not amused…….. Houston is a good place tho, like I told you, my fave city in USA, Galveston pretty good too.
