Day 3 - Why am I working on MLK day?


Racists here, that's what I say. Joking. It's actually nice working during US holidays, something I've done before when actually in the States. I get more work done without all the racket around me.

Kinda misty here. I will trade the bone-chilling cold of NYC for high 40's (Fahrenheit, need to get on Centigrade) and a little moisture.

I had baked beans for breakfast, which excites me to no end. I highly doubt I will get sick of them. They also have a full English breakfast (sausages, bacon, ham, tomatoes, toast, desserts) but since I don't need a nap right after breakfast, I'll avoid it for the most part.

There is also cottage cheese every day on the lunch buffet. I am going to turn into cottage cheese.

Saw several people in the office who didn't recognize me with a shaved head. They eventually picked up on my identity however, and promises of drinks have begun. I also joined a Pub quiz team on Tuesday nights, although since the content is largely British-based, I will be a poor addition.

Today I have been pounding Irn Bru (pronouncing Iron Brew) which is well-known soda from Scotland, which also doubles as a hangover remedy. Not that I have a hangover. I really don't. Lilt Zero is also fantastic, a pineapple flavored soda. There are also some fantastic teas to be had here in the office. I need my beverages.
