A Busy Week on Tap

[canyonwalker]

I've got a busy work week on tap this week. After last week felt packed with just three work days, this week has 5 of them. Here's what I've got:

• Monday (today) isn't too busy, though I do have a customer call starting at 7:30am. After that are a few short meetings around lunch. Though it's possible by 9am a few more will be added to my schedule. Update: already there's another meeting wedged right after the first!


• Tuesday I've got several meetings in the morning then a trade show in San Jose in the afternoon. I'll be attending partner workshops for a few hours followed by setting up our exhibitor booth in the evening. I volunteered to do that and hold on to a few boxes of gear as we wound down the previous trade show two weeks ago. I'll know Tuesday night if that was a foolish offer.


• Wednesday the trade show runs all day. Like, all day— from 7:30am until 6pm. And then there's tear-down. Anyone who schedules trade show hours like that should be slapped. It's brutal to the exhibitors. And the day's not even over after that.... I'll be driving to Roseville (2.5 to 3 hours away) for a Thursday morning meeting.


• Thursday I've got an onsite customer meeting in Roseville, a suburb a Sacramento. At first I planned to drive out there in the morning rather than spend another night away from home with 9 days of travel coming up (see below). Then I considered how early I'd have to leave in the morning to get there on time allowing for traffic slowdowns crossing two metro areas and decided staying the night Wednesday night was the lesser of two evils. So at least Thursday morning wil be calm. But then I'm busy all afternoon from the end of the meeting, through driving home, to the stuff I've got to finish up by end of day.


• Friday looks gentle at the moment... but that could all change by end of day today. Friday evening Hawk and I are leaving for a 9 day trip to the east coast. So with my Tue-Wed-Thu schedules packed, anything anybody wants me to do in the next 2 weeks is going to have to get done on Friday. And then we pack and head to the airport Friday evening for a red-eye flight.
