Seasickness, Woeful first impressions and parking tickets

Hi, Just ending an eventful day. (Eventful is my optimism speaking. For Realists read 'rough' :-) ). Started badly -- why? As I had to get up early thats why. Had a new hire orientation with the CEO of the company I just moved to in San francisco. The CEO was the last speaker and by the time she arrived I somehow had to get up right from under her nose in the first row as I had a dept offsite where we were going Sailing in the sea -- the San Franciso marina. I got to the pier late, running and panting (trust me, i dont lose those extra pounds soon, one of these days i am dying of a cardiac arrest :-) ). Well got there and guess who was I teamed up with to go into our sailboat. None other than our CTO. WoW..here is my chance to make amendments to the edgy first impression i must have given to the CEO. We started fine. The captain on the ship asking me to untie and shove the ship and climb on it as it moved -- luckily i did well there. Then came the tough part -- various nautical terms fend off, portside, jibbying etc later we were in mid sea-- one side of the sail boat almost in water, the whole jibby and mast majestically up in the air -- beautiful. And then just like that I felt this Knot in my stomach and started fallling seasick. Bad got to worse and I had to get off at a nearby pier while the rest of the team sailed on. There goes my first impression with the CTO too. Finally took a cab and got to work to pick up my car -- and realized there was a parking ticket to give my company for my drive back home....! So there you have it --Seasickness, woeful 1st impressions and parking tickets -- all in a day in San francisco. Attached is a short and informative link on seasickness. Good read if you suffer from it too. http://www.hmlanding.com/maldemar.htm
