It's after midnight, and I am typing away in bed. The last 24 hours were spent in travel. I took the Friday 8:35 PM American flight from RDU to Heathrow, enjoyed a three-hour layover and a crayfish and rocket sandwich (arugula to us Yanks), and then grabbed a British Air flight on to Munich.
Both the new terminal 2 in RDU and terminal 5 at Heathrow are very nice, BTW. I wish I had taken some photos, but as usual, I didn't. One of my side goals for this trip to is to actually use my camera and not just drag it around.
As I took the S8 to Rosenheimer Platz, I had an insight into my new job. Before every stop, a voice announced "Next stop: ... " and then a phrase that I never quite completely caught, despite the fact that I listened carefully each time. It reminded me of my new job, where I am trying to learn a new work culture, new product family, new line of technology, and all sorts of stuff at the same time. Sometimes no matter how hard I listen the first time, I just can't get the meaning. This is especially difficult in meetings where I can't hear well or can't interrupt to ask for clarification.
Anyhow, by the time I checked into my hotel, I was quite tired. I unpacked, went out for some quick grocery shopping, and was asleep by 9 PM, albeit if only for a few hours.
Now I am going to shut down the computer, have a night cap, and hopefully get back to sleep. Ideally, I will manage to get going on Munich time tomorrow ...
