On the road again
When I became a Section Lead, people advised me about how much I’d have to travel. I didn’t notice any major upswing, though I did go on a few more customer trips.
When I became a Director, my colleagues were more cautionary, “Now you’ll REALLY be on the road a lot.” But I actually travelled very little over the past year, sort of uncanny.
It seems I’ve finally found the right set of programs to make those predictions come true. I’m going to DC on Sunday, coming back Tuesday night. Going back for a day trip on Thursday. Going back to DC on May 1-2, squeezing in Jazz Fest in New Orleans (fun) May 3-7, then I’ve been requested to go to San Diego May 9-10 but I have quarterly division review meetings (not to be missed) on May 10 so I am betting I’ll make sure our part of the design gets reviewed on the 9th so I can take the redeye back. Then I have a trip to TN planned (also fun) May 18-20. My luggage is about to get a workout.
I see two benefits. First, I can finally do some reading, which I never seem to find time to do at home, but enjoy very much on a plane. Second, I’ll be racking up miles for our next big vacation.
