July - what a month!

August 8th, 2008 5:55 am MDT

Well what a month July turned out to be.  What with buying another property back in Scotland, all the hassles of trying to get a mortgage (still ongoing but looking better) and visiting the families it was somewhat hectic.
Didn't help matters that the office in their infinite wisdom sent me back to the UK a week after I got home to do a 5 day training course.  So I have had 2 transatlantic return flights in less that a month.  Jetlagged and then some!!
I actually worked it out and in July I have spent a total of 32hrs in a 777, 5hrs in a 767 and 32hrs wandering around airports in layovers.  Whoever said travel was glamorous should be shot at dawn every day of the week, before having what is left stamped into a pulp by a pair of steel heel stiletoes.  Flying sucks and departure lounges suck even more.
So I'm back in de Caribbean for now until the office monkeys decide they want me to go to work again.  Thankfully Houston is only 6hrs away but knowing my bunch of monkeys they'll send me to Africa or the Middle East.
