Current Mood:  calm
Right, post by email no longer seems to work from my work addy, and I can't get to any of my gmail stuff from $CLIENT, so I'm way behind on posting.
Last night, we went out for "a few drinks" after work. For some value of "a few" that meant "a lot."
Wow, they can go at it. I stopped drinking fairly early, myself, because I'd rather NOT drink that much anymore, thanks. Also, this being Switzerland, there's no such thing as a nonsmoking bar the way we have in the USA (or even, as far as I can tell, a nonsmoking section of a restaurant). People smoke all over the place here -- there are smoking rooms at the office (!).
After drinks and food, we went out clubbing, which was interesting and my legs may direct me to take ibuprofen later today.
Workwise, the project is frustrating me. Our application still isn't installed on my desktop, so I'm mainly doing minor stuff, not what I should be doing. Seriously, they're paying lots of money to have me here writing Excel macros -- you'd have thought that they would have been set up for me by now.
I'm trying to use as much German and French as I can. Usually, they make me switch to English ;)
And now, just about time to meet the team for breakfast and the end of a workweek, and then it's off to Luzern for a weekend! |
