Hey there! I actually turned on my home PC this morning, something which I have not done for forever! Work is insane. I have been putting in 60+ hours a week, I actually may hit 70 hours this week. The good news is that I am paid hourly, but it's really gotten to the point that the money is nice, but you really can't put a price on the whole work/life balance.
I did tell them that now that the dreaded long winter looks like it has finally departed from Massachusetts, that I will not be putting in the insane hours. They are freaking that I am going on vacation, but I booked my ticket two months ago, and my dad is counting on me to help him close the house up, because he is returning to the US with me. My mom came back a month ago, because my sister had her baby.
I'll try to be a better board member, but I will most likely be MIA for a few more weeks.
I am really glad to see that everyone is doing well, and thanks for the kind thoughts, and thanks to Cristine for sending me the email to give me the head's up that you guys were wondering where I was.
Sophia, it's a good thing that your office companions are freaking out over your departure. It will make them appreciate everthing that you do, all the more.
How wonderful that your father is returning with you, and you have your mother here too. Lovely!
It's great to hear from you. Enjoy the Massachusetts spring, decompress a bit, and have a fabulous trip. We'll look forward to seeing some pictures, and reading all about it.
