looks like i’m going to be in NH after all, just a week later than i expected…

i have mixed feelings about this trip. on one hand, i need one more trip before the end of the year to get my premier status for United for next year. i’ll also be going with joe and meeting up with allen so that’ll be a nice change from traveling alone. joe and i are planning on hitting up cr sparks in bedford (along with pam, if she wants to join us). i’m hoping to have some time to head down to boston to meet up with sarah as well.

on the other hand, my classes are all starting to gear up. there’s a monthly leadership meeting scheduled at my house for tuesday which i’m going to be forced to cancel unless we find an alternative location. i’m going to miss my ILM class on wednesday. with a paper due in a few weeks and only 5 classes in this sessions, it’s going to be a challenge. my house is a mess again and i want to start my fall planting for next year. and it’s always hard to find people to come take care of the kitties when i have to travel for more than 2 days.

but it’s all part of the job, right?

this program has been one of the more frustrating and at times, annoying that i’ve worked on. we’re essentially a sustainment program (though management refuses to call it that) so there’s really no new development. the only thing that i enjoy about it is the people. i’ve been tempted to leave the program a few times, but i said i’d give it to the end of the year and then reassess.

but yay for frequent flier programs. now if there was only a direct flight from san jose to jfk on united…
