Jan 15-19, 2006

Well, okay. Rule #1 of professional survivial: Don't book two weeks of business travel for the first two weeks you are back from holidays.

I am through week 1 of such a silly plan. Week 2 looks like this:

Mon 16th: In the office most of the day - clearing e-mail and essential issues.
Tue 17th: Leaving for "AU Central" first thing, with a stop in Edmonton for a Centre meeting. I may not get to e-mail or voice mail that entire day.
Wed 18th: Academic Council at AU in the morning, on-line to tackle the world in the afternoon/evening.
Thu 19th: Thesis defense oral for the morning, AU presentation in the afternoon, and God willing (roads and snow and stamina permitting), back to Medicine Hat by midnight
Fri 20th: Back in the office, more than likely sitting in front of the computer like a zombie.

Next week's To Do: contemplate the almost 3000 km I will have logged in my car doing my job as an academic (!) between Jan 11 and Jan 20...
