Yay! And AAAARGH!!!

I am briefly home between weeks 2 and 3. This morning we went to the gym and while stretching I scanned my email.

The training in the Philippines is "delayed." Which may mean cancelled, but we hope for $$$ sake that it really means delayed.

YAY!!! I don't have to spend 7 weeks away from home!!!! Or at least not immediately.

And I really want to strangle someone. Because I have invested a LOT Of time in prepping for this time away. A LOT of time. There is no ethical way to bill the customer for this time. But I wish there were. Because it is a LOT of time. And now I have to undo at least half of it.

So I'm still away next week (week 3), but I am actually going to be home for most of September and October. The luxury of sleeping in my own bed! Yay!

Yay? Grrr, but yay?

Well, if you have to have an important contract delayed (or even cancelled)--and that's bound to happen sometimes--this is indeed excellent timing.

Excellent timing = BEFORE I fly out there?

Yeah, from that perspective it is good timing.

Oh, sorry, I don't mean the last-minute part. I mean the part about being in the middle of a long string of trips.

How strong of you to focus on the positive (sleeping in own bed) than the negative (loss of unbillable time preparing)... hope it's just delayed and that your hard work wasn't for naught!
