MrGrumpy heads back to the bay

MrGrumpy did not sleep very well, his room was next to the lifts, he could not specifically head the lifts but there was a constant noise that was either them or some other mechanical noise that just kept him from dropping off. He did get a couple of hours solid sleep, so was just about OK at 6:30 when he got up and started to email the UK.

MrGrumpy and MissUSFae met in the lobby at 8:30am, checked out and headed to a coffee shop for breakfast (crossant and medium latte) while waiting for MrRockSquare to collect us and chauffeur us to and from the client.

The morning at the customer just flew past, we made some progress and explained what could be causing some of the issues they seemed to be seeing, then it was time to leave for the airport.

There is still the inconvenience of security checks at the airport, but no immigration so MrGrumpy and MissUSFae were through and waiting for the plane in plenty of time.

This time is was not a turboprop plane but a proper jet, which also flew higher and faster reducing the flight time to just 90 minutes. The flightpath came in over SanFran giving MrGrumpy his first ariel view of the Golden Gate and SF bay.

Back to the office for MrGrumpy tomorrow, off to meet MrNewDev (MrGrumpy reserves the right to change this name).

Today was Rent day, so tomorrow has been in the bay area for 1 month. He has survived so far, he is finding the experience interesting, he is looking forward to the real challenges to come, so far he has basically been doing the same as he was in the UK but over here.

Only a couple of weeks now and MrGrumpy gets to head home to see Little Miss Naughty and go relax for a week on Holiday. Then back to the UK office for a few days before returning to the US for USA Part II.
