Vacation

I am really, really looking forward to my upcoming vacation. I'm not leaving till August 3, but the thought of vacation is enough to keep me going the next 2 weeks.

Not that things are bad, but the last 2 weeks at work have been rather hectic, with frequent evenings where our whole team was still online doing work till midnight, and emails flying back and forth. It's not a healthy situation. There was a good reason for it though: the company I work for acquired another company, so it was integration and communication crunchtime to make sure it went off without a hitch (it did). It was an amazing experience though, being at the core of a company acquisition and working through all the communcations and marketing details. Great resume builder too (I think)

Now that that's over, I feel I need a break. Since I changed companies about 5 months ago, I've been going at 200 miles an hour and eventually you need to reload those batteries.... which is where our Belgian vacation comes in ...T minus 14 and counting

BTW, also saw 'Enemy at the Gates', a film about a sniper duel during the second world war, with Judd Law, Rachel Weisz and Joseph Fiennes. the love story's a bit overdone, but the backdrop of the siege of Stalingrad and the cinematography is amazing. really stops you cold and makes you realize the horrors of war... considering current events in the world, more people should watch movies like that..
