early next year

after my 1:1 this morning, my boss told me i should plan my trip for W03-04 (jan 12-26) next year since apparently we are going to have another face-to-face for project CR. this is good news, a good way to start 2008 except that this is also how i started 2007 and this year has been a roller coaster ride. i remain positive though that this trip is a forebearer of good news, scratch that, great news. my additional side (the clandestine ones) meetings are lined up for the next couple of weeks. one at dinner on tuesday and another during monday week after next. its the monday meeting i need to really make good of because that is what i'm very interested in. the sort of dinner meeting on tuesday is also quite interesting so we'll see how that pans out.

the exodus of friends out of the big blue is really disheartening - a couple of folks from the other building have declined their offers. maybe its wrong to make friends at work, cause when they leave, its always hard to start making friends again. how do you make friends with folks from a different generation? it used to be that going to the office was something to look forward to - not because of the work but because hanging out with friends was relaxing and fun. now i go with a heavy heart. its really time for a change in scenery - and hopefully mine is around the corner.
