MrGrumpy gets more mail

In MrGrumpy's mail box this morning was not 1 but 3 envelopes, 2 from the bank and one from Bupa, one from the bank was some form about US TAX and his Foreign Status, he will have to work out what needs to be done with that, the other was informing him of the expenses payment made to his account.
He did see the payment arrive but had not checked the exact amount, it turns out the bank deducts $35 for the receipt of the wire transfer... "uhm" thought MrGrumpy, he knew it was too good that the money arrived in the correct account. When he checked what he had submitted, sure enough it was $35 more than arrived.
As it was "Donut Day" MrGrumpy headed off to the canteen to pick todays tasty treat. A fitting day as today it is 1 month since he arrived in the USA. (Only two more weeks and he goes back for a couple of weeks). MrGrumpy will continue to update his blog while on holiday and back in the UK office, it may not get uploaded on the day depending upon his connectivity status, but there will surely be enough happening to make him Grumpy enough to blog on.

The rest of his day went as usual, answering questions and emails. He did get a call from MrWhiteSox who was having a Bad Technology day, where everything seemed to be against him, MrGrumpy knows that feeling.

MrGrumpy was not in a great mood today, he did get a good nights sleep so it should not be that.
Maybe the feeling that his efforts and sacrifices are not actually going to have any effect upon his future prospects,  may be playing upon his mind. If he had some clue as to how this year would pan out, maybe he would not be thinking about it so much.
He is concentrating upon work, as that stops him thinking too much about the solitude and lack of interaction or conversation, making the weeks go past quicker. It is now the weekends that he is finding it hard to deal with, this is not unexpected, he did think this would be the hardest bit to handle.
At least Little MissNaughty was managing to keep busy and coping very well, especially given that things seem to be going wrong more often now MrGrumpy is away.
