I got back into the work saddle after a week away, and it felt like I spent the entire (abbreviated thanks to the holiday) week just trying to catch back up …and didn’t quite make it.

I was in New York this whole week; mostly Long Island, but a little in the city proper. I went out to help Mx19 move from their first year dorm into a summer dorm, but also just to hang out with them a bit. It was good, and (of course) sad at the end. They’re doing well, and I’m proud and happy.

I sat down and counted, towards the end of Thursday — I had 29 meetings this week. Given that I took a sickie for most of Monday and managed to hold the line on “no meeting Friday”, that’s about 9 meetings a day on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Y’all, that’s a lot, so it’s not too surprising I’m a little brain-fried, I guess.

This ended up being somewhat of a rebound week — all the things I’d pushed off because I was on-site the last couple weeks rebounded back, right into my face. Most of the week was start work early, get crushed by 6 or 7 hours of meetings, stop to gym and/or cook dinner, and then go back for another hour or two before collapsing into bed. Not recommended.

Was in the Bay Area (specifically, San Carlos, mostly) from Sunday to Friday, for work stuff. Two weeks on the road, basically back-to-back, is no longer something I’m particularly fond of doing it, seems.
