Muito work, not much play

This massive delay has again been caused by stupid amounts of work. If I thought my last stretch of work got in the way of blogging, I was sadly underestimating how much it could, in fact, get in the way. The last two weeks have been weekdays spent crunching at work pretty much every waking hour outside of showering and breakfast at home. My desire to hit the keyboard on the weekends (outside of more work on the weekends) has been effectively nill.

So as for what's going on, you can probably surmise that there's been much work and little play. This weekend I actually was able to put work away (though I will have a hell of a day tomorrow to get materials ready for a 4pm meeting). Finally, I was able to get some exercise in, which was sorely needed (though left me pretty sore in the end). Yesterday I got a good run in and today I played squash. Unfortunately, I ate enough yesterday to feed me for the weekend and still at some more today. I need to either make the time to work out more or start being at least somewhat cognizant of what I eat. I tend to rely on the exercise to balance my love for food but work has rendered that unfeasible of late. As such, my pants are not fitting so well right now. This project only has a week left so hopefully my next case will be a little more reasonable. Also, the next one should be my last case here in Brazil. I can't believe I have two months left. Two months from today is supposed to be my last work-day in Brazil.

On that note, there is an opportunity to stay here longer shaping up at work. How long and other details are as of yet unclear. I'm putting a lot of thought into the decision, as it is not an easy one. Especially at this point in my career, there are certain implications to the office I choose to be in for the next year or two... I'm not going to discuss where I stand in such an open forum, but it is definitely something on my mind a lot of late. Other than that, there's nothing much to report.

I was with my buddy Pedro today and we drove by Michigan Street, so I jumped out of the car and had him take my picture ... I happened to be wearing a Michigan t-shirt at the time. Cheesy yes, but I don't take enough pictures so why not? Once I get it off my phone I'll post it.

That's about it. I should know my next staffing situation soon - they don't dawdle here getting you going on the next case!
