Snapshots From My Life

Ann Arbor

May 12th, 2008 admin

I’m in Ann Arbor, Michigan for work.  I’m not sure what I expected.  I was just in Detroit last October, and I had a good time.  I didn’t think I would be back in Michigan anytime soon (but that was before my new position.)

Ann Arbor is a quaint college town.  There’s a lot of construction in town - I assume that is due to money at the University. 

It’s only about 9:45, but I’m beat.  I was up at 3am to make my 5am flight.  At least this weekend was a relaxing one with no work (for once) and I got in early enough to rest a little this afternoon.

We have a day and a half of meetings, and then I’m home by Wednesday night.  It’s not a vacation, but at least I’m away from the office for a bit and don’t really have any work to do… not too bad - I guess it could be worse.

Where did April go?

Just this past week I realized that it’s been over a month since taking on this new position.

Woh!

I’m trying to find a replacement for my old position, so far no luck. We interviewed several people, and I will hopefully have 2 more next week. The workload has been tolerable - yet very heavy at times.

Where the hell did the month of April go?

No other real news… just been busy working 60-70 hour weeks!

Luckily this weekend I get to relax a little before heading to Ann Arbor for a few days for some meetings.

At least we’re trying to plan a few small weekend getaways. So far we’re looking at Southern Cal for Memorial Day weekend, a long weekend down at Rocky Point, an extended stay in Denver in August (after we both attend a business conference), and hopefully a weekend (or two) for camping.

Ah - I found out where my DMB tickets are located… seems like they may be pretty decent. I swear, one of these days I will pay the big bucks and buy some front section seats.
