Everybody Loves Raymond, including me

E_Raymond_DebMarRay_250

If you ever travel over a lot of time zones, you know the impact of jet lag. Thirteen time zones sometimes creates a little problem, especially with trips that last just a few days.

So, I try to make my work schedule work best with my best conscious periods. That means I go to bed around 6:00 p.m. and wake up around 11:00 p.m. I then do my U.S. work, and then go to breakfast. I actually bring food to my room to eat overnight to keep the patterns right.

So, tonight/this morning, I ran out of work to do. Time to watch TV. The TV in my hotel has their version of On Demand. It has one thing in English, “Everybody Loves Raymond”. I can choose from 22 different episodes. Since there' are no commercials, they only last 22 minutes.

So, here I am, the middle of the night in China, laughing out loud, possibly waking the people in the room next to me. I bet they think I’ve got a hooker.

Thanks Ray Romano and whoever decided to make this my viewing tonight. Sometimes, the Chinese are pretty smart.

  1. Hahahahah!!! You seriously need to find that bar wench you were looking for a while back!! ;-)

    I've never crossed more than 6 or 7 time zones. That was enough to mess up my system for a week (being there was fine, being back home was tough).

    I've never seen Everyone Loves Raymond. So not quite everyone loves him ;-)
