Internet access was down until just 5 minutes ago …. and I have five minutes to wrap up and head off to work.
In short – all is fine here in Indonesia.  We’ve had quite a bit of rain the last 3 days … which is unusual – raining season usually doesn’t begin for another 6-8 [...]

Wow.  Its hard to believe today is Friday.  I guess the heavy workload and jetlag made the week a bit of a blur.  Sadly, I have a number of things that I have to work on this weekend (work-related) such as:  (a) consolidating Q&As associated with our recent Business Practices Reviews (covered 1,300 people), and [...]

September is shaping up to be a crusing month.  Workload is building, time is compressing, two Saturdays are already booked for work …. next week I will be tied up with a visitor …. I have to go to Aceh … and I have to go to Houston to attend a conference.  I am working hard [...]

It has been a challenge getting motivated and focused at work.  Guess a lot of it has to do with jetlag – coupled with the fact that it appears very little work was done by my group while I was gone.  Not sure what the “Manager” was “managing” … but there was a loss of [...]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHELY !!!!  For those who are not aware, today (26 August 2008) is Chely Rayshielda Morgan’s 20th birthday.  She is no longer a teenager.  Yahoo !!  Congratulations Chely !! As many of you know, Chely is now attending college at Lee University in Cleveland Tennessee.  We are so very proud of Chely.  After [...]

And so, it is back to work today … although there is much to do at work, I would like to focus for a few minutes on a couple of events from Sunday.
I tried to sleep on Saturday night … as per my previous blog, I was up at 2am.  Worked around the house on [...]

I have arrived safe and sound in Jakarta after some interesting challenges associated with the most recent typhoon in China.  Because of the typhoon, I was rerouted from Chicago – Hong Kong – Singapore to Chicago – Tokyo – Singapore.  I arrived pretty much without an issues.  However, my luggage did not make it.  We [...]

First, the ugly stuff (work).  About the presentation package that I worked on until 1130pm before I left Indonesia – I am LIVID.  Although the person I sent the presentation package to thanked me and appreciated the help,  there was another individual on the team that threw away essentially everything I did and re-wrote the [...]

What was that about a 1 day workweek?  Hmm – had some stuff blow up in my face yesterday (not my issue, just something I’m involved in).  Ended up working until 1130pm trying to straighten out the mess.  And at the same time had another issue pop up that will require about 3-4 hours work.  [...]

Today is Monday, August 4th.  It is hard to believe it is already August.  But, one cannot change the clock (at least a normal person with normal equipment cannot change it).  Time marches on …. and before I know it, 2008 will be over with.  In the meantime, I have a gazillion things to do [...]
