Amazingly, I actually did make it to the train, and to the 5 hours introduction to the new software in Oslo. Â Count me more surprised than anyone else. Â I even could not sleep more than about an hour and a half in the night. Â It was a warm and itchy night, but even after a shower I still could not sleep. Â That is pretty rare for me.
The taxi was on time, and the train was mostly empty. I had a double seat for myself to curl up. Â Even so, I only slept lightly and for a fairly short time. Â I did spend some time meditating though. Â Still, I was barely conscious during the first hours of the presentation. Luckily I was not the one presenting, and luckily I did not actually get qwerty on my face. I think I got most of what we were supposed to.
Oh, and I had the invitation mail and the road map on my mobile phone, which came in quite handy to find the place. Â I hadn’t been there in something like 10 years, and I my sense of direction is somewhat like a parrot fresh out of its cage. I was afraid I would have to use the GPS and Google maps, but the mail and attachments were enough (despite a false start.)
The train home was a bit slower, and also I spent the first half of it with only one seat, which made it hard to sleep. Â After a while the guy beside me left. Â He was probably just fed up with me cuddling up to him. ^_^ After that I slept well for a while and was not tired at all for the rest of the evening.
I left home a bit before 5 AM and came back a bit past 22 (10PM). Â In my physical mailbox was a package from Amazon with the movie “Peaceful Warrior”. Â It is not particularly good, don’t buy it. Â Just borrow it. Â Luckily it was fairly cheap, at least by Norwegian standards. Some people I kinda know have been talking about it so I got curious. Â I guess there is always the Pirate Bay, but for some reason they seem to have a shortage of spiritual films…
Anyway, with that there was no time left, quite the opposite.
