Work day one

Wow, I'm inefficient in the office. Here was my day yesterday:

9.00 am -- Arrive at office
9-10am -- WORK
10-12noon -- meeting
12noon - 2.30 -- long lunch (going away lunch for a designer)
2.30-5.00 -- meeting
5-6pm -- WORK

So that was a total of 2 hours of work out of an 8 hour work day. I am so much more efficient at home and can see why everyone is so busy in the office. And today looks to be even worse: meetings ALL day.

Sure, some meetings are necessary and we exchange useful information, but probably less than 20% of the information is totally relevant to my job.

Everyone I know has been recommending taking Melatonin for jetlag. Some people swear by it though I've never taken it. But this British guy last night at dinner told me that in the UK it's banned because it comes from cows' brains and there have been no long term studies on it. Maybe best to avoid it!

Oh, and I realized yesterday morning that for some reason, I didn't pack a work belt. So I have a white belt and that's it. But no time to stop and go shopping for one yet. Weird to have work clothes on but no belt.
