I'm in San Jose. I arrived 18 hours and three flights after I departed, and spent the last three days in meetings and out with Cisco people. It was good to meet some of the people I've been speaking to for 9 months but hadn't met. It was also interesting to hear about the different places people live in.
I've been working hard in recent months. I have a big workload, could easily work 12 hours a day and make bloody well sure I don't. But I enjoy my work, the variety and depth of the challenges I face day-to-day. When I speak to people outside Cisco, they're often surprised at how much I enjoy my work. On top of that, when I speak to people who live elsewhere, they get a good idea of how much I love living in Prague. Altogether, I'm lucky. Or maybe I just put a premium on location and having an enjoyable job.
I have a day off tomorrow—I'm going to San Francisco for the day, returning to Prague via Amsterdam on Saturday afternoon. I'm looking forward to seeing San Francisco, but looking forward to being home even more.
