It isn’t easy at all to wake up at early in the morning. Especially when the climate is so cold (51 degrees… yeah… that’s 9 degree in Celsius) and sun rises only at around 8 AM. Getting ready as quickly as possible is the toughest task. It never works for me; as I keep on postponing things like shaving and ironing my dress till it’s time to go to work.
Then there is this usual breakfast at the restaurant of this hotel. The same lady with the long and pleasant ‘Gooooooooood morningggggggg’ greeting. “Yes… I want a break fast, and I am from Room No: 254”. Within few minutes she serves a glass of orange juice (I still don’t know why they put lots of ice cubes in it… that too in the morning!), and a plate of scrambled egg and fried potato pieces with two pieces of toasted bread, and a bacon. Keeping away the bacon, I finish my breakfast as soon as possible.
Office is just 10 minutes walking distance away from the hotel. But still I use the car, as the chilly wind is difficult to face even for few minutes.
These days we have the regular meetings with the team at India. That’s at 08:00 AM here which is 06:30 PM for them. After the meetings, busy work day follows.
Most of the time I go to ‘Jack in the Box’ for lunch, which is just few minutes drive away. Burgers or sandwiches… not interesting anymore…
By 04:00 PM, people will start leaving the office… I used to hang around usually till 06:30 or 07:00 PM
Back in the room… nobody to listen to what I have to say… that’s the worst part…
There is a beautiful swimming pool in the hotel… but in the cold climate… nah…
TV is the only resort… Its election time here… Iraq is the hottest issue… Almost 100 US soldiers has lost their lives in Iraq this month…. Bush says… “I know, most of the Americans are not happy with the situation in Iraq…. Neither am I”.
Then there are different debate programs going on… CNN is running a series named “Broken Government”. Some still supports the government, while many are furious about the situations.
There is a wildfire in California which is still not under control after it started few days back making acres of forest land into ashes. The unexpected snowstorm has severely affected the life in Florida.
Thank God, everything is fine here in Texas. So it’s time to sleep…
