Return of the Road Warrior
one week of taking a vendor training
+ three weeks of teaching a training course
+ two weeks of vacation
-------------------------------------------------
six whopping weeks away from client projects!
Having worked at this company for more than six years, this was the longest stretch of time I've ever spent away from client projects... and it's all coming to an end tomorrow when I resume my weekly commute to client project sites with the 7am flight to Providence. It's only 9pm, but I'm already suffocating from the anxiety.
After all these years, I still have trouble sleeping on Sunday nights. Perhaps it's the pressure to get up at 4:30am the following morning. Staying up LATE into Sunday night, perhaps, makes it feel as if I'm stretching the last bit left of the weekend to the max. I've gotten packing a suitcase to an art form; regardless of the length or nature of the trip, I can pack a couple suitecases in less than ten minutes -- consistently. Unfortunately, the other 'consistent' track record I've set is that I always forget to pack ONE item each trip. It's a minor annoyance when you realize at 11pm the first night at the hotel that you've forgotten to pack your toothbrushes; mobile phone chargers, on the other hand, become pretty costly after a while. With having purchased five chargers so far for my mobile phone (Sony Ericsson T616), I must have set a record of some sort! Well, I digress.
Restless sleep. Back to reality. Back on the road!
