Timezone problems? No… Artificial Jetlag.
So I’ve discovered a new way to develop jet lag.
Stay up late on Saturday night working. Have a lie-in on Sunday then go to the airport around 3pm. Fly from 5pm to 6pm and grab 30 mins sleep on the plane.
Check into your Kuala Lumpur hotel about 8ish and do some ironing. Go to bed at what seems like a sensible time, but is apprently 1.30am.
Now, here’s the important step. It is important that you fail to notice that the previous occupant of the room has set the clock two hours fast. That way, when you wake up at quarter to seven in order to have a shower before room service delivers breakfast, you’re actually getting up at 04:45. That way you can start the day complaining about how the hotel hasn’t delivered your breakfast.
What makes it worse was that I was 30mins into a skype call with Kate before she worked out that it must be early for me. Too early.
What the F(£”%$%E$%$%$£”"^*^&%£”£%^%K?
Too late to go back to bed as the hotel delivered breakfast right on time.
Sigh…….
What a way to start my assignment.
