I really dislike the climate here. It's too damn dry. Every time I touch something I get shocked. I can't breathe because if I sleep with the heat on my nose dries up, but if I don't have the heat on I am freezing. It's a no win situation. And my shower seems to have two settings - scald myself to death or frozen.

Interesting day yesterday. I say interesting because it was all over the map. This isn't formal training but rather a blend of some book information coupled with mentoring. This means we kept deviating off onto different topics all day and it makes for an uneven day. You spend the whole day jumping from topic to topic with no clear path of where we are going. For lunch I had Noodles and Company as B loves the place and has been sad there isn't one near us. It was okay. I had a thai hot pot which was better than expected. It wasn't like true authentic food, but it was better than I expected from a chain restaurant. I would give it another go in the future.

For dinner I ended up at an Irish pub which seems to happen a lot to me. I find myself in pubs because I like them. I had a full Irish breakfast for dinner. Watched some drunks make idiots of themselves, then headed back to the room. Meanwhile back at home I was helping to coordinate something fun. One of our friends has been studying over in London. She came home Sunday for Christmas break (163 hours to go in case you're counting) and wanted to surprise B. I helped coordinate it all and B got a great surprise last night. She was so thankful to see our friend. Even 1300 miles from home I am awesome.

Watched some netflix and hit bed. Another day. Almost done. One of our salespeople is trying to rope me into something and I am pushing back as hard as possible so we will see how that goes. I have to have a conference call with her and a client on Thursday at lunch. I am going to be a bit of a dick but that's what happens when you try to barge in with a 'let's get one more closed' kind of thing. Piss off. I am in the training group, not the consulting group.
