i have decided that going into the office only two days a week is much more tiring than going in every day. That is not to say that i will start going in every day again. It is just more tiring to go only twice a week.

At home i can work at my own pace. In the office i have to put up with constant interruptions. Today i even have one person come in and tell me she wanted to register a complaint. i told her that was no longer my job, she should go see the new director. It didn't stop her. She complained anyway.

Wednesday night i leave for a conference in Dubai. i am excited about going, and yet i don't want to go. i have never been to Dubai and i plan on eating pork there. And drinking a beer or two. i will be meeting up with a colleague and i am looking forward to that. But i hate being in crowds of people, especially people i don't know. The paper is good, or will be when i get it finished. i have good stuff to say. i think people will be interested. i have to have 75 copies of anything i hand out. i will get back Friday evening. i have a new dress to wear for the presentation. Actually it is about a year old, but i am just now able to wear it. i am of mixed emotions about this. i know i will have a good time, but i go through this every time i have to go some place new. How weird.

Because i went to the office today, i am bushed right now. i'm going to go shower and go to bed.
