Slept Well...

Managed to get upgraded on the way out yesterday, so I was able to get my head down for a few hours - which helped at this end. Met up with Randy Byers for beers and burgers at the Tangletown pub - which was rather pleasant - although one of the beers we tried hasn't agreed with me today. The IPA might have been a bit too hoppy.

Got to bed around 10pm and although I woke up for some water at 2 and 4, I actually got straight back off to sleep and now feel pretty well adjusted to the time zone. We'll see tonight.

Big presentation this afternoon and I need to spend the morning in meetings, never mind, we will work it out.

US Customs were their usually cheery selves - not picking on me but our engineer. They wanted to know if he was a software developer, what did he know about C. I thought for a moment we were going to need a white board. Then it got silly.

Engineer: "I'm going back to the UK on Thursday and Switzerland on Saturday"
INS: "Switzerland? Why?"
Eng: "A Skiing holiday."
INS: "Have you been before?"
Eng: (Trying not to get annoyed) "Yes, for work."
INS: "What kind of work?"
Eng: "I'm sorry I can't tell you."
INS: "Why not?"
Eng: "Because my government told me not to tell anybody about it."
INS: "Ummm... military work?"
Eng: "I'm not going to tell you."
INS: "Other people do!"
Eng: "Well, they shouldn't!"

The INS guy did give up at that point.

Silly silly.
