crazy weekend

Well I leave again this weekend for work. Leave early morning Saturday, return Wednesday evening. Last time this year I was a few months into the job, a rookie. Now I return as a grizzled veteran, a guy who knows the plays before they are called. The last trip was an amazing experience. Working 18hr days, then partying for a few hours before waking up and doing it all again. The thing that makes it draining is you always have to be on your game, 24/7. Like the comedian who is always expected to be funny, this weekend I am always expected to have my game-face on. At the end of it, I will be exhausted but completely energized - it comes with being focused and productive for an extended period of time, which is not something we do day in, day out.

Anyhow I am almost finished the last Potter book (don't worry no spoilers) and I must say, heading into the final 40 pages, that I am very happy with it - started slow and is ending with a bang. JK Rowling has really incorporated all the elements that made the books a hit in the first place and is fitting the pieces together nicely. A couple of really, really cool twists as well...

Anyhow that is all, off to pack. Good weekend to y'all.
