Monday in New York

[Monday 3rd November]
First day in the office of my week's business trip to New York. The main kind of conference thing wasn't starting until tomorrow though, so today I mainly concerned myself with writing my presentations etc.

The few of us that had arrived a day early didn't have any proper desks assigned or anything. I spent the day sat on an assortment of stools, tables, flimsy plastic chairs, and even a toilet (it wasn't plumbed in I hasten to add).

I'm pleased to report the food is quite good at the New York office - I'm not even sure what I ate at lunchtime, it was a bit of an odd selection of things, but really quite nice nonetheless.

In the evening there was a brief outing with the sales team (who are mostly based in New York) organised, at their local dive bar. I wasn't really very much in the mood for it though. Afterwards I went for what seemed like an endless walk through the streets of New York with another couple of colleagues trying to find another bar to go to, and eventually ended up in another dive bar which was pretty similar to the first place. I distinctly remember realising what a great thing pubs are back in the UK.
