Tuesday

Commuting (by bus and tram) an hour each way is quite tiring, I'm finding, though I'll probably adjust by the time I need to go home. The building noises and fumes from across the hall aren't exactly helping, either.

My passport and visa arrived today -- after an abortive attempt to deliver to my temporary workplace on Saturday. As long as Delta doesn't collapse in the meantime, I'm now reasonably confident of getting home on schedule. The calendar for the following few months is already starting to fill up.
