I am back again after a temporary hiatus.
I am used to traveling all over the EU (where I am currently temporarily based) with only 1-2 business-related trips outside the continent. However, due to our company's recent re-organization, I found myself scrambling to get myself from one continent to another and with only a few days to prepare myself.
I was on relatively new ground at work and I had to spend every evening (and even weekends) poring over spreadsheets and writing numerous emails to people who were in the same position as myself.
I have crossed so many time zones that my body is now confused whether it should rest or get up and work. I have even given up on adjusting my watch.
I have never had this kind of schedule before.
My mileage is piling up but my work-life balance is definitely tipping over on one side. And, sadly, I missed that momentous moment when my youngest son took his first steps.
I have 3 more trips scheduled: 2 days in Barcelona from the 23rd of Oct, 3 days in Amsterdam from the 29th of Oct and 9 days in Boston from the 5th of Nov. After which, I am done. At least, for the year.
It has been great for my career but bad for my family and personal life. I will make it up to them soon. And I will also make it up to Road Gladiator, as well.








Welcome back Melissa!
