I love my job
One of the nice things about my job is that from time to time I get the chance to go to random countries for one reason or another. But this month various things are overlapping to the point where things go a bit crazy - I'm off to Athens tommorow for a three-day 'So, we just bought your company' meeting thingy with some of the new bosses, then two weeks later I'm going to Beijing for a week and a half for an interoperability conference, and then two weeks after that I'm off to Oslo for a couple of days to meet some of our opposite numbers in engineering. I wouldn't want that sort of schedule on a regular basis, but since I've never been to Greece, Beijing or Norway, I'm looking forward to it.
On the downside, it means my carbon footprint, previously quite reasonable, will be roughly Godzilla-sized, but since all of this is to facilitate the creation of better video-conferencing kit I suppose I could claim I'm on the side of the angels in the long run.
