Onehundredfourtysix - Good Bye Party

One of the team is relocation to the US, and soon another Director will be in place here. Times are changing again.

Onehundredfourtyfive - Meeting Monday, but it is Tuesday

Crazy, Crazy with meeting all day. At least it is a short week.

Onehundredfourty - Ready for Weekend

For some reason this day seemed to drag on and on. It was 2pm and it felt like it should be 6pm, maybe there was something in the lunch food which slowed the afternoon down.

Onehundredthirtyseven - 1st Day Back at Work

As far as first days back go, this was quite reasonable. Not to much to argue about here.

Onehundredthirtysix - Rest Up

Sunday was a recovery day for all the running around in Italy. It was quite exhausting getting in so late the night before.

Onehundredthirtyone - No Place Like Home

We decided to visit some less popular towns, but were actually disappointed. We drove through one and stopped in another. Not to say that these towns were not special, but we would not have noticed that on a superficial visit. We walked through one and somehow quickly left.

Onehundredtwentysix - Chest Pain

I must be allergic to work or sometime, I had the most uncomfortable chest pain all day! I couldn't figure out what it was, but it seemed to begin the day before and it lasted for a while.

Onehundredtwenty - Dentist

I know I need to take care of my teeth more. I just cannot wait until the drilling is finished. One more visit.

Onehundredten - New Pass

I picked up my new passport today. I was able to get there right when it opened, I was there all of 15 minutes, maybe. I was still only able to get to work by noon.

Onehundrednine - Monday Scramble

The volcano in Iceland has everyone screwed up. People are stuck in travel chaos, shipments are delayed causing back orders, and there is to be a board meeting here on Thursday, but people are skeptical that it will happen. General confusion.

Onehundredfive - Meetings in the PM

I really do not like to call people for work when I am home, but tonight I needed to. I just don't like work time crossing into home time. I know sometimes it is unavoidable, but it still doesn't change the way I feel about it.

Onehundredfour - Sick Day

My Wife must have gotten sick from the plane trip back. I stayed home to watch our son while she when to the doctor. :0( I hope she feels better quickly.

Onehundredtwo - Another Case of the Mondays

It was a "case of the Mondays" kind of day. Lot's of meetings, running around. Many people are out of the office, but it still was lame. I hope tomorrow is a bit lighter.

Onehundredone - Do Nothing

Still recovering from the jet lag. It is one of those do nothing, rest up kind of days.

Onehundred - Jet Lag

After we arrived, we realized just how tired we were. Jet lag, I am now convinced, after an almost sleepless overnight trans-Atlantic flight feels quite similar to a hangover. All the same symptoms occur, dizziness, mild nausea, sensitivity to light, hunger, numbing fatigue. I think I am on to something here.

Nintyfive - Lost Ride #2

Damn it! It didn't work out. For some reason, once I got a hold of everyone, it was too late to do anything. Looks like it's on for Wednesday.

Ninetythree - Lost Ride

I had planned to go for a mountain bike ride with my friends on Saturday, but everyone was waiting for each other to make a decision. No one could set a place or time to meet. So we had to reschedule. I decided to through the hammer down, Mon, VFP, 4pm be there!

Ninety - Day before out of office

Last day in the office for a week. It is always so busy before a trip. Non-stop running around.

Eightynine - To Blog or Not To Blog

Sure there were things today worth mentioning, and I sit and can think of many, but for some reason, I cannot type it. Maybe I have Dextral Aphasia or something. Not sure.

Eightysix – The Jack Wolfskin Watchtower Supreme

We borrowed a child backpack this weekend to carry our son in. We are considering buying one, but after trying out this rather nice backpack we were disenchanted by it. The lumbar support was almost none existent and the center of balance was so high, so it seemed that it caused to wobble as you walked (almost). The shoulder straps, quite considerably padded, caused you to rotate you thorax somewhat forward (pseudo hunched over) creating an unnatural curve in your spine. I really don’t think we will get one now, or we will have to try out quite a few more before we do.
