One long night...

alexpgp...and it ain't over yet.
Everything has proceeded smoothly, with little noise and fuss. For some reason, yesterday's report from the Moscow MCC never got translated, so I ended up translating two reports today.
This is no big deal, especially now, because first of all, activity helps keep the dreaded sandman at bay, and second, the report has become significantly shorter (and hence, clearer) since I was here last.
Things got off to a rocky start, though, as none of my passwords would get me into where I needed to be. Fortunately, I was able to get the password reset in short order (and also found out my account needs to be renewed by this coming Friday).
The room in which I work hasn't changed much. There are a few more pictures on the wall, including one of the current crew of Bill McArthur and Valery Tokarev (both of whom I have worked with in the past). And it appears to me that someone has moved the photographic poster of Yuri Gagarin out of the corner so that it's a bit more visible and almost dead centered on the interpreter's desk. Fortunately, it's not one of those shots where the subject was looking at the lens when the exposure was taken, so it's not as if Yuri follows you around the room or anything. Still...
There's about 20 minutes left until the morning handover, so I better go get ready. I'll need to prepare a few minutes more than usual, to make up for not having been around for a few months.
Cheers...
