Greetings from South Florida!

I have almost missed my daily journal update today. Yesterday was tough for me. After I moved in with another coworker in the same office, I had to hear his voice all day since he was on the phone for inter-office calls most of the time. By the afternoon, even a person from our neighboring office felt bad for me and asked whether I was OK. But I was so focused on my work that I didn't notice too much of the noises that other people made in the office.

But at the end of the day, I felt pretty tired, both by my work and the interruptions that people came in for a visit. You moved to a new area, people wanted to talk to you. It's normal because there were move topics for office chat. Luckily, the person from our office next door will be on vacation for a few weeks. Either I or my "roommate" will work in that office next week. Thank God this is just temporary!

From our WeChat group of sand volleyball friends, I could see they called for playing more night games during the week. I wonder how they could find time play on weekdays. It's the luxury that I don't have. For now, I have to focus on what I do best, keep working and be a "weekend warrior"!

Have a nice day! Cheers!
