I got tricked! J'ai ete trompe!

Hey guys, this was supposed to be my last week in Newport News, VA and I was supposed to work from Tulsa.
I just found out today that I'm expected to be back here next week and may be even the week after. They tricked me!

That's how this industry is. You must go where you are needed. I must agree that while working on site, I'm much more productive than when I work from Tulsa. The managers and project managers know that, the client knows that, that's why if you are in the consultant model, you will be asked/expected to travel quite frequently.

I told Shelly the news and of course she was a bit disappointed. It's not easy but we are going to do it and be winners because WE ARE SPARTANS !!!!!!!

Til next time,

It's 219pm, local time and I'm about to shutdown my computer, grab my laptop bag, jump on the rental car (Mitsubhi Eclipse again) and head to Norfolk, VA to catch my plane back to Tulsa.
I just hope my flights are not going to be delayed or canceled.

Tomorrow is Impact Day, our day of community service at Deloitte. During Impact Day, once a year, we provide community service by serving one or more local charities or institutions that provide some form of relief, assistance or services for people in needs. It's a great way to act selflessly and to help the community while seeing how some people live can be improved for the better.

After Impact Day, I'll have my photo exhibition at the SELF Gallery, from 7-10pm.
After the exhibition, I'll go pick up Liem and Shelly and we'll head over to Glenn Cidar Millls, TX for the "Lake Trip"- the Schroder's yearly family reunion.
I'll post pictures of that event on my MSN spaces at http://edmondportfolio.spaces.live.com


It's going to be a long Friday !!!!
