Yesterday Decy and I ran an official 10k race.  I think it was a bit longer than our run home – which I think was actually about 9.5k.  Anyway, we took off at a pretty good pace (at least for us) and ran together.  We finished the 1st set (5k) in 40 minutes.  Decy’s right leg [...]

Ah the joys of being over worked and fatigued.  My body is giving in – have caught a cold.  Not real bad right now, but clearly a nuisance and disrupting my sleep and impacting my productivity.  But, the good news is that today is Friday – which means, when I work on Saturday there will be fewer interruptions -  [...]

Last Friday I almost missed a critical security-related email at work because it came just minutes after I shut down my work PC (to take it home).  Fortunately, my colleagues brought me a printed copy as I was walking out the door.  Thus – decision made – I’m getting a Blackberry for work.  If I [...]

Where has the month gone?  What is happening to my weeks?  Everything seems like a blur right now.  Clearly, still absolutely swamped at work.  I will have to work more this weekend – but will take time off on Sunday for a 10k run at the zoo – its a circle run and we will [...]

Yikes – so Monday I get up at about midnight and begin working from home.  So much to do - so little time to do it.  Got quite a bit done before it was time to go to work.  Of course, that made for a very long day – and I have much I need to [...]

As Decy would say “Better Than Nothing” (BTN).  Yesterday was another blurry day.  The emergency exercise went ok – but I was overall disappointed in it.  In the middle of the exercise I had to change tactics just to get the dynamics rolling.  Plus, the meeting room was incredibly hot.  Plus, it is Ramadan and people are tired [...]

Yesterday was a blur – today will be a whirlwind.  We have our emergency response drill today.  I have developed the scenario and will coordinate the execution.  This has been 6 months in the planning.  It begins at 8am and ends approx 230pm … no lunch break due to Ramadan (the fasting month).  Stay tuned.
As [...]

Just a short note – all is fine here.  Incredibly swamped at work and need to do some work from home before the driver arrives.  Also did some work last night after I got home ….. its a zoo this week.

So starting Monday, I have my job to do …. my bosses job to do, and my colleagues work to do …. plus there is all the training that bearing down on me … plus, I am trying to train two new people … plus, I have two sets of visitors that need attention.  Knowing [...]

Already Monday morning.  Have an incredibly difficult and frustrating 2 weeks coming up at work – right now, if feels like a category 5 hurricane is just a few hours away from hitting me full force.  Argh !
 As for the weekend, got up early Saturday – did some quick work – and then went with [...]
