I am traveling for work again, and am so busy that I have not had time to write posts for this blog. Sorry about that.<\/p>\n
Where am I going?
\n
\nWednesday 4 February through Friday 6 February, I am representing my boss’ boss’ boss (the head of my agency) at a bilateral conference on the topic that is exactly my niche field of expertise. I was very honored to be recruited to attend this conference and speak on behalf of my agency. The conference is in a large city in the far southeastern United States.<\/p>\n
I fly back on Friday night, and will be home for Saturday. Then on Sunday 8 February, I take off to organize, orchestrate, and facilitate 7 concurrent meetings drawing hundreds of stakeholders in my field from around the country and the world. These meetings continue through the morning of Friday, 13 February. <\/p>\n
This is my “big deal” event that I do as part of my job every year, and it’s finally happening after months and months of planning and preparation. These meetings will be held in a nice, friendly, small city on the U.S. West Coast, north of California but south of Washington. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I will be so busy with this travel and these meetings, by the time I get to my hotel room each evening after dinner, I will likely collapse. I won’t have time to write blog posts.<\/p>\n
So for now, I’m taking a blog break. I regret the inconvenience for my regular followers, but I am stretched thin.<\/p>\n
Life is short: love what you do … and manage your time as best you can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
