*gets breath back for a few minutes in the departures lounge*
Waiting for the Jersey -> Plymouth flight. The first proper bit of waiting around that I've done since 6:30am Monday morning, when I was waiting for the Exeter -> Jersey flight.
Since then it's been non-stop work, not enough sleep and not enough to eat. 60+ hours last time I checked. (Is this what junior doctors feel like?).
Usually go home on Friday night. I'm going home now (Sunday midday), to see the missus and nippers for a few hours, grab a few hours sleep, then fly straight back out, to do 1 and a half hours work (!) Monday morning, then fly straight back home to see youngest nipper in the school nativity play, then sleeping for a few more hours then flying back out again to do some more work.
See you in the departures lounge next Friday night then.

What is it that I do?
What I do is work in IT. Nothing clever there then. It's what I'm _doing_ and how I do it that are the key to the rushing about... I'm currently implementing a project that needs some weekend work (and generally a lot of hours). However, I work for myself, so I live somewhere I like very much (hoorah for Devon) but more often than not I work away from home. Combine these two things and the result is a lot of getting on and off of planes.
Do I sit back and smell the roses?
Sit back? No. Smell the roses? Yes, if you count seeing the nippers' school Christmas play as a roses smelling type activity.
So was seeing youngest nipper playing Mary and singing solo worth the 3 flights in 24 hours and the extra 200 quid expense? You bet!
Gotta go

I was going to say I will catch up to you later, but I think you go faster than The Road Runner..
Take Care, and Seasons Greetings to you and your Family...

It's not always like this, just the last couple of weeks has been madness. In fact, things are starting to slow down - well, I've managed 2 hootoo postings in 2 days, so clearly I've got a couple of spare minutes this week.
Just incase I don't get back here soon though, happy Christmas to all.

Hiya Paff, hope you slow down enough to have a bit of a break over Xmas, and have a lovely time with your family. Work is great, but family is
