Post Vacation Mode

I managed to sleep about 5 hours, which is pretty good for dealing with the maximum possible time zone difference. The mail hold gets lifted today so I will have something to do this weekend. (As if there were ever a time I didn't have things to do.) Unpacking is a high priority, though is relatively easy since nearly everything just goes into the laundry. All of the end of year stuff will also wait until the weekend.

Work will, inevitably, involve reading massive numbers of emails. I suspect I may also set a new personal record for caffeine consumption.
