First Day at the Office
I couldn't sleep last night, maybe because I slept so much or the fact that my body is still on EST. I was up by 4am and maybe slept another 30 minutes before I got out of the bed at 7am. Breakfast was ok, but as I am typing this I wish I ate more. My ride (coworker) arrived late. I expected that. Traffic was NUTS. A lot of cars, a lot of people on mopeds and motorcycles. People just walk in front of moving traffic, cars cut each other off. Everyone seems to be going in the direction we are going. The office isn't too bad. I was going to write later, but I have to get this out of my head. It is 90 degrees outside, there is little to no AC. I mean I am sure it is on, but I don't feel it. It is comfortable though. The office is dark, no one really turns the lights on and the shades are drawn. I am too sleepy for this!! I met the team, some of which I recognized because they were in the US three months ago. It is 10am and barely anyone is at work yet. People arrive around 10:30am. Around noon, I see group of people head to the bathroom. Those same people head to the break room. I guess all this is a "team effort". I go to lunch. I choose the "noodles" because it seemed like a safe choice. They were spicy and the "donut" was hard as a rock. I only brought one protein bar, I should have bought more food. Tomorrow it is me and Jenny Craig. It is 3:11pm and I am starving, tired, and my head is pounding. There is a coffee machine. I am not a big coffee drinker, but I know bad coffee. There is a water cooler. I am trying to figure out why they have such a difficult time holding their water bottle up without touching the opening. I am now drinking water out of the cooler in which someone else's water bottle mouth opening was "hugged" up against. I guess I have had worse. I mean as a child I must have eaten dirt before right? I can't even get grossed out. Water and Jolly Ranchers is all I have. Oh, and coffee that resembles mud. I have to stay awake and fight hunger. What time is the car coming to get us? :-)
