So me and my wife are super cool about most of the things we do – I get home late, she stays up later, I travel for conferences, she travels for work, no matter what\u2019s going on, we get along. But one of the rules we\u2019ve established is to not discuss our travel plans in public until after they happen, unless it\u2019s for a public appearance.<\/p>\n
One of the reasons is that she\u2019s an artist, and I\u2019m an author, and sometimes the things that we create can irritate people, and if you publicize your schedule it opens you up to attack. So she\u2019s asked me not to publicize our location or our travel plans. That won\u2019t stop Goldfinger, of course, but it makes it less easy for a determined whacko.<\/p>\n
So, I\u2019m \u2026 somewhere, to give a company talk, but it\u2019s not a public talk, so consider it an undisclosed location. And I took the red-eye, as is my habit for crossing country, because I hate losing a day. Prior to my talk, I\u2019d lined up a whole day full of meetings with people so I could use this time productively \u2026 but as of this morning, all have canceled or failed to respond.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve no worries: if my meetings are all canceled, I\u2019ve got a giant stack of papers to read for a brand new project at work, so I\u2019m covered. But I don\u2019t want to drive away from the meeting site in case my last meetings go through. So I\u2019m nearby, in a coffeehouse, chilling out, waiting to either hear back on my meetings or to get the good news that my hotel has a room ready for me to check in.<\/p>\n
And you know what? It\u2019s nice to have a respite, a little time to chill. For someone who juggles a job, writing, a small press, and comic book work, it\u2019s easy to get overwhelmed.<\/p>\n
A few minutes to chill is a good thing.<\/p>\n
