Digestive System Back in Order
After several days of sleeping in not my bed and only being able to consume noodles and congee (with whatever digestive ability I had leftover after the round-the-clock marathon cross-hemisphere intercontinental ballistic airplane flight), I am seemingly able to obliterate Western-style food once again, as if it were the old days. Yesterday it was pizza with Elliott for lunch, and today it was a big-ass burrito (with chicken and refried beans!) for lunch. And I am feeling no ill effects. Perhaps I should reintroduce things like fruits and vegetables as well. Anyway, that coupled with the return to my own bed and my first full night of sleep in over a week, and I'm almost a person again.
But the real question is, can I handle a return to the office? For now I may possibly take on a position with Eric (who, for the record, is neither pushy nor neurotic nor annoying . . . OK, a little neurotic) on a short-term basis doing whatever random work his company may need me to do. Nothing particularly special, but I'll be making enough money and living comfortably again, so that's nice. Plus there's a possible lead with a Shanghai technology firm, but now they want to see my transcript, so I'm sure that's the end of that.

Just off of Nanjing Road: two orders of (good) soup dumplings, one pork-chop noodle soup, one tomato and egg over rice, one big bowl of wonton soup. Thirty-one yuan, or four U.S. dollars. I'd show you the picture but my cellphone situation is all weird and I can't download the photo.
