A Life in flight..
by Ranil on Nov.04, 2007
I’m in Cleveland now… having left yesterday after a morning flight.. the flight was good.. no delays.. no problems.. just another regular flight… for that I am happy.. I’m staying at the Marriot Residence Inn.. an extended stay kind of place so every room is kind of like a mini apartment.. i have a kitchen and nothing to put in the fridge.. so.. kind of just like home.. unlike home I don’t have a car to drive around and grab supplies.. I forgot a toothbrush (was kindly provided by the hotel) and some other basics.. I also forgot my camera.. so any pictures of this place will have to wait until I am able to get one.. I have no idea where food is located.. except that Papa John’s delivers.. so I was ok for yesterday..
Today is cold.. very very cold.. and I am hopelessly underdressed.. gotta layer it up before I go out to explore today… the complimentary breakfast was abysmal.. but free food is always good.. I can’t complain… this will be an experience and I’m glad my boss chose me to go out here for training.. but at the same time.. I wish there were people I knew here.. I’m waiting on a couple of co-workers to show up.. but they’re both older and I don’t know exactly if that whole co-worker bonding thing would work out.. we’ll have to see..
I’m not homesick yet.. but I know I will be.. three hours ahead and daylight savings kicking in.. kind of a weird effect on my day… I couldn’t sleep properly last night.. but I forced myself anyway so I could try out the breakfast.. I’ll probably get coffee and a muffin in the morning…
I’ll try to write every day (most likely every other day) while i’m here.. mostly as a cathartic thing for me.. but hopefully so that all my friends back home know i’m still around..
