Slept Well
Up nice and early after having slept almost 12 hours. Downstairs for breakfast. Scrambled Eggs or as the signage says - Scrambled (Eggs). Im not sure what else they might scramble! Toast in the dodgiest toaster you have ever seen. I swear the lights dim and it makes a fizzing sound when the bread is put in. To call it toast is to use artistic licence. It is bread that is warmed up a bit with a slight crunch on the outside. Not really browned at all. Apparently when my appartment is finally refurbished I will get a "soft pack" which includes bedding, pots and pans, kettle, toaster etc. I can have real toast then! But there is lurpak butter which is unexpected, and I think kellogs honey nut loops and chocolate flakes together with what is described as tea but I would call it water with a hint of tea it is so weak and some lovely freshly squeezed orange juice. That sets me up for the day nicely. Out of the hotel into the car, out of the car into the office. Aircon all the way. Just as well. When I left the building to have a wander around the compound where I am working initially (which is huge) the heat was so intense it burnt the back of your throat when you breathed the air. Im still struggling to get the necessary access to the systems I need, and the guy to whom I report, a huge 7ft Norweigian called Jarl (I think there may be 2 dots above the "a" but I cant see how to do it on my keyboard!) thought he was getting sent some sort of project manager rather than a technical specialist. I did briefly get excited when I thought it might be my fast track ticket home but regretably not as he says he will need my skills in a few weeks. Which rather begs the question, what do I do until then!
