well folks, it looks like i’m hitting the road again, and this time i’ll be gone for a full two weeks. so where am i headed?

  • July 12th - July 16th: Nashua, NH
  • July 16th - July 19th: Piscataway, NJ
  • July 19th - July 24th: Patuxent River, MD

hopefully it will be my last trip in a while, but the way things have been going lately, that’s doubtful. i’ve actually been home for a solid two weeks, and have sadly spent most of it cleaning house. so i’m a little late when it comes to spring cleaning! :)

i don’t mind traveling for work at all. in fact, it’s nice to be able to go out and see your system actually working (or in many cases, not working at all) and to meet the people on the other side of your (more than) once-a-week telecons. the hardest part for me is finding people to come by and take care of the kitties. Erica’s been great when it comes to stopping by the house and I’m thankful that Nancy is coming by the 2nd week of my trip to take care of the house. i’ve set up a drip/soaker hose system on my patio to water my multitudes of plants, so i don’t need to worry ’bout that.

in case you’re wondering, this is what i have growing on my patio.

the sucky part of this trip is that for the first week, i’ll be out in nashua by myself. and while i’m not worried ’bout being able to do the job (which involves a lot of babysitting and crossword puzzles) i hate eating out by myself. but i guess this will be an opportunity for me to get over that since i’m sure it won’t be the last last time i’m traveling alone. that and the fact that i’ll be away from home on my birthday. but i will be spending the weekend with laura and pudup and hopefully getting together with sarah, samneric and possible trieu down in boston, so it won’t be all bad.

one more trip this year and i’ll have premier status on united. woohoo…
