working remotely in New York

I started work at 630am this morning. It's so weird working remotely. Yesterday in the phone to E chan I'd said i would never keep my jammies on during a work call. And yet there i was with just a smart top and my pyjama bottoms on this 7am call.

Strangely, your working day is done by 2.30pm (even if you taken an hour for lunch) if you start at 630am. But you don't stop because that's the middle of the day. So after my last meeting at 3pm, I found myself still frantically tapping away on the modern crackberry, a Samsung s3. Admittedly, it was whilst watching the second half of the champions league semi final.

Meetings are also different here. It may be that we are I'm America our maybe it's because I'm newand foreign and British. I went to a meeting today with a corporate donor in the UK and ended up exchanging expat stories as she only moved here a couple of years ago. She also invited me to her netball cluband their on quiz on Saturday and is also going to try and get me tickets to see Macbeth through work.

But nothing beats sitting in the park at 5 pm waiting for happy hour. I wonder if the girl I'm going to meet will become my best friend I'm new York?  I just don't know.
