Damm! time for some work
Write to sites visited in Canada - report to AARNet - rest occasionally and stare out the window looking at people wandering along University Place - sneak out for a bagel - am I a true New Yorker or What - I think so after all I know all there is to know about a toasted everything bagel with tofu and can even acquire a latte in the same breath.
Read up on the goings on in e-Health - it all seems the same - chaotic activtiy with scarcely any national progress - Think briefly about the poor individuals striving to make things happen - catch up on all the email.
Sleep well - rise early - today is gong to be a day of achievement - By the end of the morning Graeme will have telephone and fax facilites enabled for his wandering across two continents and the drivers of our hire cars will have "Tommy" to guide them through the complexities of overseas navigation -
Lunchtime - a startling lack of progress - the TomTom site is down, no one likes my credit cards and there is such an array of telephone options that it is difficult to select the right option - the needle is somewhere in that haystack of options.
Out to see car rental place - amazing - collection point less than 200 metres from the appartment - big and aging blonde behind the counter - no you cannot register yourself as a driver unless you are with the car and the car is not here! - damm - "don't worry dear" you can do it anywhere once you have the car - thank you - glad I could help
Back inside - struggle with 'Tommy" - sort out the telephone and discover faxmate.
Not a great day! - the 10% rule at play? - not too bad is it given that the quality of the other days.
The photos of this blog are typical of the days ........
