I need to wind my diurnal clock.
We (lab people) made it to Berlin for the conference without problems. I was half expecting to get shunted all over the airport when I first saw that the flight ahead of us at our gate was way delayed, but they moved the other flight instead.
The meetings are going pretty well so far. I gave my presentation (not one of the big ones, just a quick talk in a more informal setting), and people were interested and asked good questions.
The air conditioning at the hotel is broken. Actually, what they told me when I asked about it was that that the air conditioner had been in an accident on the Autobahn. I am not entirely sure what it was doing there, although the hotel is having some construction. I hope the driver is okay.
It's really not that bad; it's cooler than back home. It's just not the usual over-air-conditioned conference (apparently this keeps most people awake; it makes me want to curl up in a ball and nap) that I was prepared for. Starting this evening, though, talks are no longer at the hotel, so who knows what it'll be like there.
