Almost ready for NJ

[cjsmith]

Yep, I'm leaving town for another square dance! Mostly I'm ready, but I learned a week ago that I needed 2 tips of "Lynette's First 50" (plus the first concept tape) C4. It takes me way longer than it should to write that stuff. Rob says I'm trying to make it too perfect. Maybe. These people won't have had much chance to dance C4 yet, and I want to do as well by them as I can. Anyway, I need four more sequences. I can write those on the plane.

I was a very bad girl and took yesterday almost completely off. I did some basic life maintenance stuff: Little Girl's trip to the vet, a long-overdue grocery run, and cleaning up some of what the cats did (hooray for spring). That, and I made the lentil soup. I didn't do a whole lot else. I did have *one* epiphany worth about two hours of uninterrupted work (that's most of a day) but that's it. Sadly, that means the weekend as a whole was not nearly as productive as I needed it to be.

Given that, I'd better get to sleep soon. My only hope for getting anything accomplished tomorrow is to be the first one in the office.

After June (and my sister's wedding) things calm down. I think I have a whole month without travel.

Travel

I hear you on the travel. After a solid 8 weeks at home (first time since we moved, I think) I start a crazy travel cycle on Wednesday. At least 2 nights away every week for a month, then something at least every other week through August.

If you have any time next week, I'll be in Sunnyvale/Santa Clara Sunday night-noon Thursday for training at headquarters. Not sure how many team dinners there will be, though.

It gets to be a crazy kind of life, doesn't it?

I'm finding that the travel for work carries a completely different kind of stress than the travel for square dancing. I don't travel for work unless I'm expected to pull off a miracle. No pressure! The square dancing feels like playing hooky from work, so I give myself guilt trips.

I'm returning from New Jersey on Monday. Not sure whether I get to leave work before nine or so :-) but if I do, we could see if we can get together.
