Serenity!

I found this funny. It kinda describes my attitude to my current job. It's also cool that I tied for Zoe - she rocks!! Love Serenity.

You scored as Jayne Cobb. The Mercenary. You are in this for the money, plain as that. You like things simple that way, but mainly as anything else confuses you. You get the job done, and don't care what people think. Not as long as you get paid anyway.

New Car

I GOT A NEW CAR!
Well actually it's a second hand car but it's new for me. A 1999 Renault Clio (Va Va Voom), silver and lovely.
As I've not had a lot of practice driving on my own I am a little apprehensive about the drive home tonight and also it will be dark. But if I survive the rest of my life will be super and mobile!!

Time Warp!

Between 28th Oct and 6th Nov, I will have visted 3 different countries - not counting the UK, I'll only have been there for 2 days. During November I will visit 5 countries in all and already my mind is whiring from the airport-hotel-show-hotel-airport scenarios that are being repeated.
I currently sit in a very swanky hotel in Warsaw while doing the work that has been piling up during the first half the scenario played out earlier today; airport-hotel!

As travel is going to be a large part of my new job (and I'm starting to feel a need for better financial compensation for this!!) I need suggestions for some/all of the following:
Good books to read while travelling - nothing too heavy-going. Currently reading Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy?
Things to do to remove the tedium of hanging around airports/hotels?
