Second day has come and gone. Woke up this morning around 6:30 AM with more than enough sleep. Still wanted to snooze but with no alarm clock, no dice. Didn’t have any water this morning. Seriously. I thought there was a law or something that prevented the amount of water you could consume in a given 24-hour span. My hair was a mess but did the best I could to hide it. Later on found out that I wasn’t the only one. Apparently, the water main broke down the street and our entire block was out of water. Go figure.

Today was my first taste of the audit lifestyle. An 11-hour workday goes by fast. At least I’m finally starting to feel responsible for something and contributing to the team. Had a review of my development plan with my audit manager. I’m glad I came to this team vs. KC.

Went and got my picture taken in downtown today. I have a meeting with an immigration counselor at noon tomorrow. All my documents should be set and the permit of stay should be ready soon. Dozed off a few times.

So the hole in the ground was my mistake. There are actually toilet bowls in the stalls, just near the end of the bathroom. Am I an idiot or what? But it all adds to the experience. I also learned today that people here do not pay attention to the DO NOT DISTURB sign you leave on your door. I left it on there this morning but to my surprise, there was another Italian chocolate on my bed, and the rest of the room left like I first remembered it.

Still sucks to not have a phone. One of the auditors told me that I should just buy a prepaid phone and then use my Dial-Comm card to make calls. Only around 30EU but is convenient. Is it worth paying that for only less than 1 month of use?

I’m gonna get fat while I’m here. Free breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. Right now, it’s all about living to work.
