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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
