Chapter 2: the grind and the refined - The end of the week

I've had an uneasy night as a result of a late meal by McDonald's. I did not "love it", neither did my poor digestive system. I also had the usual wake up at 3am, made a mistake of reading an infuriating email from work, and unable to resist the temptation, also answered it. The next thing I knew it was four, and then five, and since it was almost six I might as well get out of bed. Needless to say I'm very tired, and somehow need to break this habit of waking up at ungodly hours.

I've been moved, again, to a new room at the hotel, this time to the 25th floor. I've decided to give it the weekend and if the net problems continue (or I get noisy neighbors again), I'll change hotels.

There's also been a change in the project I'm working on that gives us more time, so I hope it will also give me a chance to calm down and reduce my stress levels. I'm almost at the end of a week here but it feels like weeks already. I can't say how well I'm adjusted, but the food is a definite issue.
I've made plans to tour the City over the weekend, so it should be a nice change of pace.

  1. How about turning your phone off physically when you go to sleep, and not turning it back on until morning? That would sove your nightly email binges.
    Also - McDonalds! http://youtu.be/6YDTfEhChgw

    1. The problem isn't the phone - it's on "Do not disturb" mode. The problem is that I'm disturbed enough as it is (literally) to wake up on my own accord.
      I know, fast food=bad, but at least it's in English. I do place high value in the ability to identify what I'm eating.
