craziness

I'm having fun, and I'm too busy to enjoy it. Make any sense?

The call came in from a new client a bit over two weeks ago: "how quickly can you get here, and how long can you stay?" A few days later I was in Chicago, on a very large and very rush project... can't say a whole lot more just yet. I've been home once since then, last weekend, for about 28 hours with a side daytrip to the Bay Area... and have a few more days in Chicago before being able to take a bit of a break. It's one of those work-eat-sleep-work again trips, with breakfast and lunch catered in to a dedicated project office, dinner with the large and ever-changing project team, except on days with meetings or field visits (like today). It's challenging stuff, but exciting.

But it means, for now, no time for writing, or photos, or visiting with friends, or almost anything else. Ah, the joys of consulting...

It slows down a little in just a few days, I think... although who knows, today has already brought two surprises and two almost immediate resolutions of those issues. But gotta go now... early meetings tomorrow.
