Hectic!

I guess it’s the mad rush before the trip next week and so life just seems more hectic than usual.  Neetu had a lot of things going on at work; which is not all that unusual.  She went to Savannah (flew) Mon/Tuesday and then drove to Columbus Wednesday and then in the evening to Athens!  Speaking of Athens a big hearty congratulations to Rizwan and Tasneem for the birth of their second daughter, Razia.  Wednesday was the naming ceremony for Razia and while I couldn’t go because of on-call work (more on my work later), Neetu took Isha and Riya to welcome the baby (the reason Neetu drove to Athens).

My work week has been rather hectic as well.  While I have not been travelling, I have gone into the office each day (I normally telecommute two days a week) and have been in all day work meetings.  What could be so exciting? Installing WebSphere for Maximo in a HA cluster as a proof of concept!  Yah it’s that exciting!   It’s a new platform for us and that makes it interesting and fun, but most of you are probably thinking –nerd-. 

Riya and Isha had a normal week.  They did get to spend a lot of time with dad but I think the Wednesday night trip to Athens should have appeased the mommy time that they were both missing.  On both days that Neetu was gone the last thing Riya would ask is “When is mommy coming home?” and “Can you ask her to come to my room for a hug and a kiss when she gets back?”
