Raining again

Sitting in my living room with all of the doors and windows open watching the summer rain fall. The neat thing is that the rain doesn't come in so the windows can stay open. Additionally, as much as you all know I LOVE a/c, since most homes don't have it there is less pollution and therefore the air is cooler. In any case we don't get the kind of humidity here as we do back home which is a god-send. BUT when it was muggy at the office like today, there is nothing like a/c and they don't have it at work like we do in the U.S. Well in any case I digress.

Back at work today after two weeks out of the office, albeit one of the weeks was work, but it was OUT of the office which always makes a difference. Plus, doing large scale medical meetings like ASCO in Chicago gives the opportunities for teams to bond, ok ok, drink every night, but also come together as a cohesive team and really appreciate one each others skills. Did I mention I work in PR? :)

So alas, back to work and it was difficult to keep my mind engaged in documents, expense reports (F*$##$ing hate those things), meetings, etc. We have one meeting each month kind of like a homeroom type thing for all of the comms people based at headquarters and you literally want to take a pen and stab yourself in the carotid artery, which I know how do oddly enough from the days of working in the ER. Well actually there is one person that you want to stab in the carotid, but it wouldn't be worth the prison time so the next best thing is yourself. I swear if this meeting doesn't break me of the eyeball rolling habit I don't know what will. And my boss was dealing with a flight delay so I was all by my lonesome. Luckily she has even less patience than I do, yea yea, so two peas in a pod we are when it comes to "political correctness".

My thoughts today seemed to be left back in NY. Tomorrow I go looking at apartments for a more permanent residence, ayep you'll be updating address books one more time for good measure during my stay in Basel. So alas, I will be committing to at least a year here unless of course something or someone fabulous pries me away back to NY!
