The Snark gets on an airplane. 8/23/2006

Looks like the honeymoon is just about over. After 4 weeks of kicking my heels and waiting for something to happen, it appears that the game is afoot. It actually feels good to be exercising my brain again, doing something that I, well, enjoy isn’t the word for it, but at least it isn’t a drudgery.

On the other hand, jetting around and living out of a suitcase in hotel rooms isn’t exactly blowing my skirt up either.  I’ve done way too much of that in my career.  I once crossed 3 continents in 4 days, chasing meetings.  When I was informed that I was being re-assigned, a little bird whispered in my ear that I would be flying out to a neighbouring country, to have a look-see at their facilities.

I then found out my passport was as dead as a dodo.  Which necessitated me running down to the Immigration Office this morning.  Mental note, never try to deal with Government Departments during the fricking school holidays.

Assuming everything gets done by Friday, I’ll be away for a week.  The one saving grace is that where I’ll be is a Yamaha R-6 Valentino Rossi Limited Edition.  If the owner is kind (or crazy) enough to let me ride it, I’ll be posting pictures and a test ride report.
