This business trip was fairly phenomenal in terms of feeling good about work; well, okay, so I never caught up on current work-things, but I was productive and I had good meetings with people. I gave an hour-long presentation to another team about logging, a talk my senior colleague D usually gives. I was able to meaningfully update the slides, giving the talk itself was fun, and I knew the answers to the questions people asked.

I also got back my performance review, which was glowing.

Of course I totally fell apart physically. I never really timeshifted, my evenings were shot and I only really worked out once (I kept waiting too late).

Returning to Boston has therefore gone like this:
  • Do laundry and otherwise insta-unpack
  • Poop a lot
  • Recycle large stack of snail mail
  • Sleep for eleven hours
  • Poop a lot MORE... where was it hiding?
  • Try to pet hyperactive cat, who is too excited about my homecoming to sit still and be petted. Chase hyperactive cat up and down the hall.
  • Read a lot of the Hyperbole and a Half book, which arrived in my absence. I mean, alot! READ ALOT. The alot loves books.
  • Go to gym, attempt workout. Raise eyebrow at weak, stiff body not remembering what to do.
  • Wrist still hurts; wonder if I will ever do handstands again, but assume probably so.
  • Attempt to stretch out splits, knowing that it will suck and next time will be better.
  • Obtain absurd pleasure from walking through Davis Square to buy chicken stock and bacon.


I'm so glad to be home, I don't even know if I'll do the Yanai Levor acro workshop in NYC in a couple of weeks. I might really, REALLY enjoy having that weekend to stay here and do Xmas prep.
