I leave for Houston in a few hours. This is by no means a vacation. I'm going down for a business trip to meet with some folks at our parent company. Certain people seem to think that this sounds exciting or fun. I have to disagree. My agenda has me in meetings all day (and i'm really not good in meetings). Then in the evening, as seems to be the custom with our companies, we will go out to dinner with the home team. Finally, i'll retire to some hotel to try to get a good night's sleep.
I've been down a few times before and i always feel out of place. When you spend all day in a foreign office, you have nothing to call your own. I miss my computer and my cubicle. There is no private space to retreat to where I can actually do some work.
I should start packing now. I'd like to get my place in order before i leave as well. I'll let you know how it went upon my return.
