I'd like to start journaling daily again. I'm doing pretty well so far, and I plan to take my laptop with me to San Francisco this weekend for the marathon, so I can blog about the experience. It's going to be great. We arrive so early Friday that we have the whole rest of the day to do whatever we want, and on Saturday too. All we have is the Pasta Party that night, but the whole day is ours. Of course whatever we do, we have to try and avoid too much walking since we don't want to overdo it before Sunday.
Today I found out that our team is all meeting in New York at the Home Office, in White Plains. With budget cuts and the economy and all, we weren't sure we'd be able to go. Since so many of us work remotely it's this once a year meeting that we all actually get to meet and see each other, and come together as a team. Otherwise it's all IM's, emails and phone calls. I have no idea what to expect when we meet. Team building? Guest speakers? Who knows.
I'm flying into Rhode Island and then taking a car or something to White Plains, along with my Manager and her boss. Should be fun, truly. They're both really great people and I'm looking forward to spending some time getting to know them better.
I can't believe I'm leaving for San Fran this Friday already! Our flight is really early, 7:09, so we're planning to leave the house at 5:15. Ugh! I'm not an early bird, it will be really hard. I just need to make sure I'm all set to go the night before, so I can just roll out of bed and go. I hate flying though, and prefer to do it after a couple of Martinis. Not sure I can do that at 7:00 in the morning...
So this is it for now. Nothing exciting. Nothing much new.
