Day 2
First, RE the stock market – my recommendation …. turn off the TV, turn of the laptop, go to sleep …. wake up in 2 years and all will be fine in the market place. These daily swings will financially and emotionally ruin a person if they try to react.
Yesterday was Day 2 in my new job – although I spent about 4 hours in meetings wrapping up my old duties. The day was a blur and hard to tell if really productive. I was doubled booked for meetings essentially all day – had 5 meetings in the morning, a lunch meeting, and two meetings (1 of which was 2 hours long) in the afternoon. Then I had a 45 minute teleconference with Houston beginning at 7pm. And, I am getting ever increasing volumes of emails – including handling about 20 every night between 8pm and midnight.
Feels like I got nothing done at work yesterday … and have an important meeting / presentation on Monday …. and haven’t been able to prepare my 2-3 pages of handouts in the package – I will have to work on that today and over the weekend.
Today, after work, 4 Start-up Team members (all that are in country right now) are coming to our house for dinner, rest/relaxation, and get acquainted. There will be 1 American, 2 Russians, 1 Thai …. what an eclectic bunch we are ….
Decy has been incredibly busy this week – helping her family, helping Samantha, helping another expat wife …. poor girl, she hasn’t had any time for herself … for massages, salon’s etc. Hopefully next week she can do that.
Well, family and friends – I better close for now … its already 455am and I have a gazillion things to do.
ciao ciao
