Love this technology

I get to text or video Skype with home pretty much every day. Technology is so cool. The end to daylight savings has made it that much harder to keep in contact. It’s just one hour but it throws things out of sync. I either need to sleep in the afternoon so that I can stay up in the evening. (I can’t seem to survive past 9) When I do, I struggle to sleep at night and then getting up at 5-30 for work can sometimes be a challenge. I work it out. I am online the whole time I am at work. Given that I spend most of my time in a male environment I feel really uncomfortable talking with female members of my family in this environment. It feels cultural inappropriate so I don’t SKYPE I tend to use text. What it means is that I’m pretty much still back in NZ in a virtual sense. I don’t know how people coped waiting for letters to arrive. I think I get the text thing as I use it more. It's quick and efficient but also can be used in lots of ways. We use texts and calls here with the team. There is that saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes a few words can have the same effect.
