I'm back in New York after a week in Amstedam for IBC (video conference). It was a fun week full of drinking, conferencing, and more drinking. Six straight 4am nights of partying might be a bit too much. Luckily drinking Heineken doesn't give you hangovers. (Been drinking tons of Heineken recently because of the new mini kegs, US Open, and then IBC. It really isn't so bad when not from a bottle or can)

I got back to my apartment to find the water was shut off in the bathroom. They are renovating the apartment next door so they probably turned my water off by mistake. I ran to the property management office to report it. On the way back I ran into my UPS guy.

UPS guy: Did you just get back into town?
Sachin: Yeah I just got in today. Do you have something for me?
UPS: No
Sachin: So how did you know I was out of town?
UPS: Because I didn't get anything for you

It's nice to be back home in a familiar place :)
