cut to dec 2011

which is now.
and it's a different world, ladies and gentlemen.
where i routinely put in 10 hour days at the office and often have spent an hour or so finishing emails even before dawn.
where all the above is perfectly normal and not even worth mentioning.

one morning i was up and finishing work and shooting off emails just after 5 am. so one of the emails i had written was to my boss and i hit 'send' around 5:28 am. carried on with a few more emails till my inbox showed a new message. from my boss. in reply to my 5:28 am email, i had a reply at 5:34 am. and no he was not in another time zone where it was a more sensible time of day.
and there's another senior colleague who regularly replies to all her email only after 11pm. not on principle, she just does not have the time during the day.
i think we need to get a life.

one thing that has not changed is that mine is still a long-distance marriage. and that i still don't like the idea of it. and that there still isn't much i can do about it.
