Day 57: Differences in Time

Today's battles seem to have all been won in the last hours of overlapping work hours. The ten hour difference with the West Coast of the United States--and twelve hour difference with Wyoming--is brutal. Coordinating overlap for work or with family is tricky at best. The jet lag is over but I still haven't figured out the communication lapse. It is both a good and a bad feeling to know that the world is working while the you sleep and you are working while the world sleeps. I guess it is always balanced that way, but I've never had the feeling of being quite as remote as we are out here in Northern Kazakhstan.
