Long day...
Apr. 25th, 2002 09:54 pmI went in to the client's office an hour before my time to report for the Execute Package, so I could resolve some minor details in that 10-page assignment from Lev, and almost was late to the MCC.
Lev laid another assignment on me, due on Monday.
When I got to the OpsPlan area, there were already ten or so radiograms in the queue, and by the time all the dust had settled down, there were 14 documents to translate, some of them quite sizeable.
Alex K. finally left around 6 pm, and I ended up staying until about 9:15 pm. Tomorrow, I'll be working with a young lady named Lydia, if memory serves, as Alex takes his first real day off since, he tells me, March 29 (hey! that's only about 4 weeks... what's he complaining about?).
The folks in the OpsPlan back room order lunch and dinner from local restaurants. I elected to eat my lunch out of one of the machines on the second floor (yuck!), but ordered some sushi and an udon soup from a fairly good local Japanese eatery called Tokyo Bowl.
The experience taught me two valuable lessons: (a) never order sushi that's going to be delivered in a styrofoam container (it was about as appetizing as eating bland mashed potatoes, and has a plastic aftertaste), and (b) soup doesn't order out well, though the nabeyaki udon I ordered was pretty good.
I'm home, now, and Lee has a couple of her friends over. We are about to watch Kenshin Himura (Lee informs me that the formal name is Kuroni Kenshin). As I type this, she is giving someone who just called instructions on how to get here.
Looks like it's going to get crowded... I need to get a good seat.
Cheers...
