Day 3 - Weds

Just another work day, exhausted from trying to think about inventario plus understand Portuguese all day. Was going to drive myself home but I was so tired by the end of the day I hitched another ride with Stephen. Seriously, I'm hella tired. I hope it's just the move and some extra rest this weekend will help.

Used Waze app on my phone for the first time today - you people need to try this instead of Google Maps etc - it's the bomb. Not sure why I've never heard of it in the US. If you try it let me know how it works there.

Our IT guy at the plant knows the phrase "cluster f%$#" from watching House of Cards on Netflix. We discussed the Gaffney Peach. I wonder if Brazilians think our politicians are more corrupt than theirs after watching that show... surprisingly, I have to say they would be wrong about that.

OOO just got the email with my CPF number - which means I can get my wireless installed!! Schweet!!



Alarmingly sloped ramp to get into my apartment's parking garage - the Civic did a nice scrape when all my luggage was in the back.

Gas station under my window. They're much nicer here than at home - they all have a good restaurant or at least bakery inside. People hang out at them.


My lunch in the plant canteen today. My interpretation of what it was: pot roast, cooked cabbage, carrot salad, eggplant salad, bean & pasta soup, and mixed fruit (fresh of course). It was pretty tasty. I still haven't hit the beans & rice/rice & beans - the Brazilians eat 'em every day.

  3. ooh, I think that lunch looks pretty darn tasty!!
    Rock uses Waze. Drove me f*&%ing bonkers on our way to FL... I was the driver and he was constantly on there reading updates and wanting to put traffic updates in. I haven't used it, myself.
    I think I'm experiencing sympathy-exhaustion for you! xoxo
