Jet lag

I flew to the US last Tuesday evening and home again on Friday night.

Whilst in the US I was fine, functioning at an extremely high level and converting a trip that I was ambivalent about into a real winner.  But since getting back to London I've struggled against fatigue.  I had a comedy gig on Saturday night (preparation for my Edinburgh Fringe Festival show) that went well enough but since then I've been unable to think straight.  I'd planned a relatively short To Do List for today but I'm not sure how I would've coped if I'd been genuinely busy.

I know its no more than a cost of doing business and I feel guilty about complaining even here (see previous posts) but sometimes I worry that my fortysomething body is feeling its age.  I read somewhere that typical 'active' McKinsey's consultant is in his or her early 30's; on days like this I understand why.
