“No end in sight…”
09.15.09
“No end in sight” is how Melissa described my traveling every week. When I first started to travel, the issues that surrounded it, or so I thought at the time, would be isolated to dealing with delays, weather, bag storage space, etc. What I didn’t realize was how hard it was going to be on my home life. Its so very difficult to have 2 days at home and then be forced to do house work and projects, wedding planning, etc. Typically, people would go home after work and take care of many of those issues without even thinking about it. I don’t have that luxury, so I am stuck cramming it all into two-three days. Things have to change.
The current client that I am working on has been a bastard about making us go up to the work site. There have been weeks that I have not spoken to a single person of value the entire week, so there isn’t even a point of us being up there. I spoke to my employer and he agrees, so with the next round of contract negotiations, he’s going to be working towards getting us on a one week on, one week off type pattern. I am very much looking forward to it.
This week, I’m stationed up in Denver. I watched some football with Brad and had a few beers last night. I don’t know what we’re going to do tonight, but it’ll be nice to see him.
Its about time for lunch, so off I go.
