Normal computer use again at last
After some time, the overwhelming scent of perfume left my hotel room; I can only hope that there won’t be more perfume when I return this evening. I woke up far earlier than I had wanted to, but didn’t get out of bed, unwilling to get into the cold (the air conditioner must have kicked in overnight: it was certainly not cold when I went to bed). So I read, which was also fine. Reading is indeed a lovely, lovely thing, even silly books. (I recently read something about how all those spy/detective/whatever novels where the ordinary looking/old/ugly man has a beautiful young/younger woman fall in love with him — a genre which has good books in it too, just like chicklit — are just romance novels for men. Sounds reasonable.)
Today I take a shuttle to work. I am told the shuttle was spotty at best, but the car which was rented for me was rented from a place which shuts after business hours. How totally useless. I bought a pastry for breakfast today; there was already coffee in the room. I will hopefully buy somewhat better food tonight. Hopefully.
Today is also reading the documentation day. I do much better reading than listening, or I do better listening if I have already read the stuff. Is that a visual learning style? It always seems not, because I don’t particularly like visual instructions, except about putting furniture together, and that only if there are also words. Small blurry diagrams are not a universal language, Ikea.
