Worst-ever NPRA?
Last week’s NPRA meeting was one of the worst-ever for me…
It wasn’t the content or the attendees. It was the location.
The meeting was in Phoenix. The same town where my family lives.
You can see where this is going, can’t you?
Trying to balance work and family life is hard enough for anyone to do, but with the 100,000 mile commute still going on, spending time at home and away at a conference at the same time was really hard.
Being gone from home all week except for maybe 44 hours a weekend means two things:
1) I maximize time with family when I am back J
2) I get lots done in the evenings during the week J
So despite being at “home” in Phoenix for the NPRA from Friday–Wednesday of last week and not doing the commute, I was not able to satisfy either objective… L
Although I had issues with the week, my wife was good about it – she even agreed to host a barbecue party at our house for PAS customers attending the conference.
And she was happy about it… What a wonderful wife!
But after 5 days, she had seen enough of me and was happy to pack me off back to Houston -- with a suggestion for me to recapture the lost time: stay in Houston the next weekend.
So I did. No commuting for me this weekend. Yippee!
Now the weekend is over and I’m back to being on top of my game – with the consequence being that there are certain others at PAS who now face a boatload of emails Monday morning! J
Want something more serious?
Watch for my posting tomorrow on Honeywell’s ASM vs. Emerson’s ASP at the NPRA…
