Hilary Meets the Land of the Morning Calm

This morning, I awoke successfully to my alarm, so progress has been made. Two hours later my boss dropped off the 100+ page booklet I need to read through for tomorrow when she, Melissa and I meet at school (yes, on a Saturday!) to review it. This is going to be our "orientation" since we weren't allowed to attend our company's official training program. (They kept us in quarantine, away from the other foreigners who have already proved lack of swine flu through the test of time.)
