copy of blog posted 3:52pm on 1/29: she works hard for the money

today was my first day at work here, 630pm to 330am. i woke up from my nap at 5pm so disoriented that i didnt even know where i was. i thought for sure that i would never make it through the night at work. but once i got there and started interacting with everyone i woke right up. ive now been off work for 2 hours and am just starting to get sleepy. the uw's that im training are very smart and very concerned about doing their job correctly, but its amazing how many simple things they havent been told. im running thru the kind of ever day stuff that goes into a file and reviewing conditions. everyone is very friendly and it was a great 1st day in a new office. i really enjoy the trainer role, my ability to retain random and/or useless facts is totally coming in handy, and i can share it with people who completely and undividedly give me their attention. im hoping i will get used to the accent soon b/c i am having a very difficult time understanding many of them.
i also went shopping today (before work) and got a really beautiful saree and a set of saphire jewelry (earrings, pendant, ring). everything was so beautiful it was really hard to decide. and i had a super yummy dinner/breakfast of chooza makhni and naan. oh, and we saw and elephant on the way to work tonight!!!!!
