The ugly:
- Sleep deprivation. (Partially caused by starting a load of laundry at midnight Wed night, thereby being assaulted by the sound of an 800-rpm spin cycle at quarter to 1 in the morning.)
- Athens traffic. Ye. gods.
The bad:
- Clients who are asking for a due-diligence report on their books, refusing to provide electronic copies of some records (thus turning a twenty-minute cut-and-paste into a task that'll probably take a solid week). Ah, well. The firm's billing them per-lawyer, per-hour.
The good:
- Got through vday without feeling the urge to introduce Athens to Chicago-style vday celebrations.
- Third-hand report that the office is happy with the work I've been doing.
- Got a ticket for back home, for a good price - Athens-NYC doesn't cost that much more than Athens-Berlin, for some odd reason.
Looking forward to seeing The City again. Even if it's only for a couple of weeks at Easter.
