Day 2 23/6/09 - USA

Buffalo

Highlight

• Worst jet-lag ever, but probably because I slept so early the night before, so I woke up at 3am.
• Ended up going for breakfast very early (omelette was so bland, maybe I chose the wrong stuff) and going to work early.
• Got the shuttle to work, which was nice and convenient.
• Work was a bummer…food was not appealing at the canteen as usual.
• Worked until 7pm, then Andrew told me he didn’t want to go out.
• So I tried to book a shuttle to drive me out, but they somehow mucked up, so I ended up having to wait another 15 minutes.
• By that time I was so hungry I really didn’t want to have to travel out, so I ate at the hotel instead.
• The front desk guy felt sorry for me so my meal was on the house – which really didn’t benefit me at all…and I couldn’t complain when my food arrived so slowly since my meal was already free.
• Good thing though that the food was very nice, as opposed to breakfast.
• This also meant that I wasted enough time and was able to get to bed at 10pm instead of 8pm.
