Disconnection

I have mentioned before that the project I am in has really disconnected me from the rest of the world. I thought before that it was just because of the long business trips, but I realized that it's not only that. Precious time at night is wasted because of meetings and you have to be in the office.

This week, we experienced a lot of off days because of the declared holidays. It made me see how much I am missing everyday. I miss my TV and all the primetime shows I used to watch at night. I am a TV junkie and this project just made me isolated from that world -- except when I am in US when I am in tune with the latest shows there (I <3 Ugly Betty). Last Wednesday, my parents and I had to rush our dinner celebrating their 25th Anniversary because of a meeting at 9PM. I can not even go out with friends because of meetings, and I should be present at night. It has changed my bodyclock as well -- case in point, I am still awake at the moment.

I am really looking forward to finally end this project and move on with another one in Asia (EMEA is not even an option!). I need to readjust my lifestyle once again but I know this time, it's worth it.
