Almost. I’m off this week in Steamboat Springs, enjoying a vacation with the family, but I’ve got one commitment: Database Weekly.
We rotate the workload, and most everyone else has something this month, so I got stuck with it. I didn’t want to try and mess up anyone else’s schedule, as we’re all on holiday, so I’m going to fit it in.
It will be short, so don’t be disappointed next weekend.
I’m feeling pressure. As I get this post ready, I feel a bit of a buzz from the stress of prepping a number of different presentations for the next month. Quite a few are new, and that always has me worried.
I know that’s not good, and I’ve over committed myself a bit. Actually, my employer and I together have over committed me. There’s a lesson in here for next year, and I’ve already spoken to my boss on things we need to watch out for next year.
However I also need to fit in a few breaks here for my own sanity, and today is one of them. So everyone enjoy have a good day, and remember to take your vacation. That’s a lesson I’m trying to work on today.
As I try to recharge and relax, I’m taking today and tomorrow off. Just a quick note that I’m trying to live up to my advice and get away from work when I can.
I got back from SQL Intersection on Wednesday afternoon. I did work a bit, but not too much after traveling and speaking this week. Today I’m in the office, but only today.
Tomorrow I’m outside.
I have more vacation scheduled tomorrow, along with Monday and Tuesday. Given the nature of my job, that means I need to ensure things are prepped and scheduled for the next few days until I return next Wednesday.
It’s been a busy day. Some of my prep was done last week, but with three days in Las Vegas this week at SQL Intersection, I wasn’t completely prepared. I’ve been editing content, scheduling things, recording podcasts and more.
I’m almost done, which means I should get a good vacation. I should have the chance to start work on another project tomorrow: building a horse shelter.
