Nothing special happened last couple of days/weeks... Last weekend we had a serious weather condition as we got 20cm of rain in two days. Thats a lot of rain, but hopefully it will be the last burst of rain of this magnitude until december :-) Before that, last wednsday I had a meeting with a guy with a wikipedia article. It was ok, but I couldnt really explain why my boss sent me to talk to him. So none of us wanted to be in that meeting and it was initially very uncomfortable. Then it got better, but generally it was a waste of time, his time (loss of my time is a few orders of magnitude less important so it can be neglected;-).
Then on friday my boss asked me whether I can/want to stay another few months. I quickly found an excuse, saying "I want but my irish boss dont let me".(I thought I would never be grateful to bob for not allowing me to stay in cisco for more than 3 months.). His relpy was something like "Why not? We can pay you and you can do research for him..." Anyway, I dont think I would be able to live there longer than three months. But, again, maybe I am wrong. Money can change the way people feel
Insomnia, I had insomnia most of nights since I came here. I dont know why. I am healthy, dont have any emotional problem, my body functions well, but when it comes to sleeping it doesnt work. I have been falling asleep for last 27 years, every night (almost every night) so I guess I should know how to do it quickly. But it doesnt work. I had the same problem few years ago but then I started to watch movies every night and it helped. Now even movies dont help. Can anyone tell me how to deal with this issue?
Btw, I signed up for netflix. 14$ a month and you can keep 2 dvds at all time. As soon as you finish watching a dvd you return it and in two days you get the new one from your wishlist. Amazing service. I wish something like this exist in ireland.
Finally, to illustrate my Gastarbiterism I will tell you a short story. I get roughly 3.08 hours of holydays every week, which is roughly 5 days for 13 weeks. So I was planning to use those days and go to visit friends nyc/boston for couple of days. Then last week they told me at work that all unused holiday are paid on the end of the internship, so I decided that having fun is not as important as geting a grand, so i will probably stay closed in my fucking San Jose .

no sleep = too many $1 bottles of coke that are a bit bigger than Irish bottles that cost $2. And too many trips to ShiteyBurger "4 burgers for $1.50"...with a large coke.
You might be right, but I dont have too many alternatives here in San Jose suburbia. I will appreciate calm life in maynooth more when I come back. Btw, my boss asked me again to stay for another 3-to-6 months... I dont have a clear idea why...
because then he doesn't need to arrange "another fucking intern" for 3 to 6 months...
rrrade, picko, does this mean that our ny plans are off!!! you know i had big expectations :(
Steve, you are so right about this.
Dejane, when I read your characterization of my personality I decided to do something about it. So I did it quickly and booked flights SJ-NY-SJ, for the first weekend in february. I had to do it quickly, otherwise I would definitely change my mind.
rrrade, care
