A Day in the Life

A day in the life of Marjorie Claire Fisher- July 25, 2011

• Wake up
• Watch The King of Queens- it's either that or Greek on Brazilian hotel television at 8 am (unless you are fluent in Portuguese)
• Head down for breakfast where the hotel offers lots of fresh fruits, breads, cheese, ham, cereal, and coffee
• Catch the shuttle to my client which is only about five minutes away (five minutes of silence because the shuttle driver, Julio, doesn't speak English and I don't speak Portuguese)
• Arrive at client at 9 am
• Work on various things until lunch
• Take a full hour for lunch with my team in the cafeteria at the client
• Work until 6 pm
• Call the shuttle and usually wait a long time for it to arrive to take me back to the hotel (yesterday I didn't want to wait so I took a cab)
• Arrive back to the hotel and relax for a little while before dinner (evening English programming usually includes Oprah and Seinfeld.)
• Play futebol with Erik, Johanna, Laura, and Frankie on the top floor patio of the hotel
• Go to a pizza restaurant for dinner within walking distance of the hotel
• Come back to hotel and play cards in Johanna's room

There you have it. Kinda like my life in Chicago only it involves eating a lot more beans and rice.
