On dry land again

davidnWe're back in Boston now, though I still have to put up some entries that I wrote on the cruise. We both keep expecting the floor to move about.
I came back to find this in my inbox:
...and will be knackered within a week due to flying remotes, I think. As I have said before, I think I work in the best IT building in the world - I think my current average of getting in on two and a half days a week might be about to go up.
Not today, though - we got to sleep last night at something past one in the morning. Our flight out of Los Angeles was delayed because the wind was so high that it had to land and get some more fuel on the way out to us (not when we were on it. I would have had an aneurysm.) But the same wind helped us across the country in four and a half hours when we eventually took off. I'm now no longer completely white, and neither of us have yet exhibited any signs of coughing, sneezing or deadness.
I'm going to have to get some essentials today. Maybe also install a balcony, as I'm already missing having one right outside our bedroom.

Ready for a Break? CIC Adds a Wii to the 16th Floor
October 11, 2009
Feeling worn out after a long day? Need a quick distraction from editing that grant proposal? Do you have an over abundance of energy from those three Nespresso shots you just drank? Come play some tennis on the CIC Wii!
A Nintendo Wii is now located in the Dijon conference room on the 16th floor (located through the single door entrance from the 16th floor elevator lobby, just down the hall to the right). Instead of a projector, this conference room is equipped with a 46 inch LCD television, which works beautifully for presentations, especially those requiring high resolution, and when not being used for that purpose, it does a fine job with Wii tennis as well.
