Productivity Level for Today: 90% Ended up going to a lunch meeting at the Capital Club today. Food was O.K. Not really impressed. It turned out to be a 2 and a half hour. So, productivity during that time was 0%.

Day 2 of 9 It is 7:50AM, Tuesday morning. I am at work. I arrived at work at about 7:20 this morning. The plan was to chaperone a hardware replacement on a server we manage.

Day 1 of 9 It has been a week since I had my new bike. It works perfectly! Although, it is really cold.. Didn’t feel like riding to work today and freezing. It is impossible to get decent gloves here. Today I recieved yet another daily planner as a gift from an unnamed client. Are daily planners the only gifts companies consider? Maybe… Mine did. And aparently, we are required to use them - why did the company pay for M$ Exchange licenses with calendaring built in and still purchase company branded daily planners?

I now have my bike! I picked it up on Friday, January 2. Have a look at http://www.changjiangunlimited.com/Gerald_04.htm for pictures Gerald took. I have pictures that I will post to my website soon. Now. all I need is a driver’s license, then I will be 100% legal.

I met with Gerald (the guy who is building my new bike) last night - he took my Green Card (Residence Permit) to change the ownership of my new bike! Yes! It’s (almost) done! I will have it by the weekend! Yeeeee!
