SJC Airport - Mon, 27 Nov 2023. 11am.
Just 12 hours after getting home last night from a 9-day Thanksgiving trip I left home this morning for a 4-day business trip. So much for my stretch of 7 stay-home weekends!
This trip I'm going to Las Vegas for the AWS re:Invent trade show. I'll be staffing my company's booth there.
Transitioning from a week+ leisure trip straight into a business trip can be rough. I've taken some deliberate steps to make it saner.

Transitioning from a week+ leisure trip straight into a business trip can be rough. I've taken some deliberate steps to make it saner.
- For one, I booked an itinerary for last night that had us not getting home super later. Ideal would've been to get home around 6pm but 9:30pm was the best I could do without having to leave too early in the morning or spend several hundred dollars more.
- Two, I don't have to leave first thing this morning. An 11:30am departure gets me there in plenty of time for the mid-afternoon kickoff of the trade show.
- Three, I used my work hours this morning before heading to the airport to pack for the trip rather than trying to squeeze in too much computer-based work. I did use some of my downtime once at the airport to catch up on email and Slack.
