Its been one of those weeks.  Work has been a zig-zag  / tug-of-war with my trying to get back into some type of semi-normal routine … regularly offset by questions from Houston regarding various aspects of our plan that needed clarification ASAP.  In addition to that, there was pressure from some folks to change aspects [...]

As I mentioned the other day, woke up on Monday absolutely shot … somehow overnight I had started catching a cold.  Tuesday was the “cough” day …. then last night it started moving into the chest.  Yuk.  When Decy came home she offered me some of the same medicine that she offered Nathasya (who is [...]

I am really looking forward to closing out the month of August 2010.   This has been a tough one for me.  Work has squeezed me hard and as I get older I have less stamina amd bounce back more slowly from a sleepless night.  Now that our company plan is submitted and we have spent [...]

Wow, a blog two days in a row.  Bet you don’t know what to think?
Its always interesting coming off of peak work hours … in some ways I just want to cut back to 8 hours a day … in other ways I realize all the things that I need to catch up on that [...]

Yikes – so glad I was able to get a bit of rest over the weekend.  As it turns out there was a mistake made on our plan submission and I had to fix it on Monday.  Because I was rested, I also noticed another mistake (both made by others – data providers).  The second [...]

Yes.  I am still alive in case anyone is wanting to know.  Of course, if anyone wanted to know, there are other ways of finding out … emails … BBMs … FB postings.  Anyway – the Company Plan deadline was on Friday the 20th.  The past week has been gruelling and I was exhausted (more [...]

We’re quickly moving into the home stretch on the company plan submission.  Most data is due on Friday the 20th – some due today the 16th, some due on Monday the 23rd.  But, the lion’s share +95% is due Friday.  Unless something unforeseen happens, we are on track for meeting the deadlines.  In addition to [...]

Here we go … single digits to Plan submission date (the 20th).  There is so much to do … and so little time left.  If the Plan submission were the only thing I had to work on I would be fine.  But, it is not that simple.  We have a presidential-level presentation to write with [...]

I feel like a marathon runner that has pushed himself just a little too hard.  The finish line is there.  I can see it.  I am making progress.  But, I am tired, dehydrated, legs are wobbly, thinking is fuzzy.  Just need to make it across the finish line of submitting our plan.  We are now 10 days [...]

Its definitely a “Thanks God its Friday.”  The “Sort of” is associated with the fact that I will have to work the entire weekend (again).  Nevertheless, I am very thankful for having made it through this week as well as I did.
On Wednesday we had our VP plan review.  Basically, we had a day to [...]
