Black sky, typhoon warning, enjoy being 'ahead' of NA timezone...

The sky is very black now and I can hear thunder outside my office window. Its 4pm Monday in Hong Kong, and there's officially a typhoon warning, albeit only category #1 (low).  I hope my Taiwan colleagues are safe, and my fellow Sloanies who were supposed to fly back yesterday night to Hong Kong. Typhoon Fanapi hit there yesterday.

For Mondays at least, I enjoy being 12 hours earlier than North America Eastern time. It means a slower ramp out of my weekend (compared with piles of emails/voicemails by 8am Monday in Toronto).  Although I've been pretty busy in the office today.  I even packed my pasta lunch and fruit to eat... so didn't leave my desk.

(on an unrelated note, the BP oil leak was officially plugged today.  What a cluster overall.  Louisiana residents have had a rough few years - worsened by big business' ignorance... also they are thinking of extending 4 hour trading day for Hong Kong traders by cutting into the 1.5 hour siesta after lunch... boo hoo)

Look forward to see Stephen this Sunday (finally).  I hate long distance phone calls and relationships :-(

Have a great day everyone!
