The best laid plans…

12 October, 2009 (08:42) | Main | By: Patrick

There’s some saying about plans rarely suviving the first contact or something like that. I forget the exact quote. Anyway, I was excited about my current project wrapping up because that usually would be a good indicator that I would be working from home for a while.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. I’m off to New York City this evening. Next week, I’ll be headed to West Virginia. And so it goes. This is not a complaint. This is my job. I am aware that it is my job. It’s not my favorite aspect of the job. I love travelling for short bursts, but to be on the road constantly(since June) is burn out for me. I certainly can’t complain too much, considering I have a brother who spends close to a year at a time away from his family. And you don’t come home from Iraq on the weekends like I do.

So, what I thought was going to be 3 weeks of catching back up on life at home has become trips to NY and WV. Throw in a Cub Scout camping trip weekend and a writer retreat weekend and you can get the picture. I am busy. Poor me. I am sure everyone else is sitting around wishing they had something to do. :)

What’s got you tied up these days?
