In Germany

[dagibbs]

Flights were, relatively speaking, not too bad -- but they were hellish for any sort of sleep schedule. The trans-atlantic flight left Montreal at 8pm, for about a 6-hour flight, getting into Heathrow (London) for 7am. This meant that I finally was tired enough to try to sleep around midnight my time (as I'm often not in bed until 1am-2am), and they were waking us up for breakfast on the plane around 1am (my time), or 6am London time -- about an hour before arrival. And, once down, I had to be on "morning", since I had more travelling and stuff to do. So, last night I got, at best, 1 hour of sleep.

Then, I had the fun of navigating Hannover with driving directions in German (courtesy of Mapquest.de -- mapquest.com will allow you to select German maps, but their database doesn't seem to be able to find any addresses, and their maps are bad, but mapquest.de has far better maps, and you can find things, but it is all in German, so I had German driving instructions) but managed to find my hotel successfully, then drive over to the training site (QNX's office in Germany) finding that successfully, too, verify classroom setup, etc.

I'm now trying to stay awake late enough that I don't wake up part way through the night, in an attempt to establish something not entirely unlike a local sleep schedule.

The last line "I actually didn't have trouble" was a left-over fragment and not intended to be there. Guess I shouldn't actually proof-read, hunh?
