New sleep cycle or silliness in the a.m.

12:00pm : I get up with an alarm (unless someone texts me and wakes me up before hand *cough* :P ).
1:00pm : Go into work.
7:00pm : Grab dinner at work and enjoy a few hours of free time.
10:30pm : I am online and working at my apartment with Jan who's in Mumbai.
4:00am : Bed time.

Jan and I are working very closely together on a project and she just spent 3 weeks in NYC. However, with the power of technology now that she's back in Mumbai it's still as if we're at the same office. I'm sitting in my leather chair in my apartment in NYC; she's at her desk in the Mumbai office. We've got Skype w/ video open as well as Gmail chat and there's always e-mails. Tonight we've done all three.

Highlights of our night:

• Jan gets bottled water at her office (ours were taken away from us and now I have to drink carbonated mineral water out of a bottle) and breakfast until 11am (ours ends at 9:30am).
• She carries a purse to work (this is funny only if you know her).
• If I get to go visit her in India in April, she wants to take me to this place where: "They sell leather goods. You know just the regular kinds, whips and stuff."
• She fed me lunch through Skype. Indian bread stuffed with vegetables! Delicious!
• She kept mouthing "baby star" at me over Skype. I don't know what that's all about.

And the best was daring Jan to send a "That's what she said" joke to a work mailing list at 3:40am. "+1 for doing it everywhere."
