Work has been kind of hard. I was hoping I could just sit back more and do job hunting, work on my portfolio items, but that's not the case. The structure here isn't the best. I obviously can't write too much about it but getting people to follow instructions is difficult. There are reasons I ask for our schedule to be updated, and files put in certain places. I need to track what's going on. It feels like herding cats. I feel sort of like the SF artists think we're just goofing around over here. Which isn't the case. Just what I write on facebook or here is about what I'm doing blowing off steam after work. Work is a pain lately. It's one thing to teach new people, it's another to teach new people then not have them listen, then some randomly quit and you have to start all over. Frustration.
Also today we got a little lost. Kelly, Josh (who arrived today from SF) and myself all got in a rickshaw to get to a mall. The guy totally had no idea where we wanted to go apparently and dropped us off at some other random store that looked like they started to build the mall then gave up. So we got another rickshaw, and some nice guy helped translate for us to the driver where I was trying to explain to go and got us there. The mall was actually pretty nice. A few floors of shopping and some food courts. Unfortunately the one we went to didn't have the luggage we wanted. Tomorrow we need to go to a different one and hope to find some good roller carry on bags.
End of the week we have a team outting on a train ride! Should be fun. We'll be heading to northern India somewhere. Maybe I'll rent a motorcycle there and ride around a bit. Week after the three of us who got lost are going for a mini trip to Japan for a few days! Should be fun and I plan to buy some things there. I did a tiny bit of souvinere shopping today too. I don't know what to get people. I saw some plates today with swastikas on them. I know they meant peace far before the Nazi's hijacked it but still kind of funny to see out in the open.
