Less than 24 hours ago I was drinking an ale on the North Shore:

Then, I took a red-eye from Honolulu to LA. An hour and a half after landing, I was sitting at my desk. Several of our employees called in “sick”. I have three days of emails to catch up on. I do not want to be here.

Happy Tuesday!

DISCUSSION (20)

I’m the only PM for over 2 dozen projects spread out on 3 installations. I feel this, man.

I’m from Oahu, looks flat that day. I love a clean 10-15ft there, 20 gets stressful and lots more people.

First day back from vacation is the WORST.

On the bright side it’s a short work week.

Damn dude, that is rough! I’m in process of hiring a new person, for a new position, in a new department, that will work under me and hopefully take some of my workload. The problem is, between work and OPPO, I can’t seem to find the time to actually get the gears moving to hire this person. So far, I have most of a job description written, and a pay range nailed down haha

Summer isn’t great for surfing on the North Shore. I’ve always visited right before or at the tail end of surf season and have seen some of the madness haha.

All is well. I’m used to the ankle slappers we have in SoCal. No way I’m getting my ass out there on anything overhead. Especially on a reef haha

How about this? I’m looking at planning a two week vacation in July. Doing that will require me to plan and execute a lot of hard work on my projects before then, but I’m fighting impending summer-itis right now. This is gonna be the biggest test of grown-up self discipline I’ve had since I wrote my dissertation.

Also, I read and enjoyed your Ferrari saga stories over the weekend. Good stuff.

I’m honestly surprised I’m feeling as good as I am. Only slept about 4 hours on the plane. Not counting all the times my slumber was disturbed by a child kicking me haha. Short week and (so far) everything seems quiet. I should make it out OK.

I am a fan. I tried a few other local beers but honestly, I liked all the Kona beers better haha

Right there with you. I tried every beer I could find on tap or in a bottle, 12 from Kauai Brewing Company alone, even. Nothing was a good any Kona beer. I was a little disappointed.

I’m not a fan of their pale ale. Their lager isn’t too bad.

You should have “missed” your flight.

Dissertation discipline is the hardest, especially when your committee can’t agree on what they want to see. That and two kids, a father-in-law who’s wondering if you’ll ever get a job and start taking care of your family.... It’s the primary reason I advised all students to finish their thesis or dissertation before they left the hallowed halls of their soon-to-be (if they finish) alma mater.

Two weeks!? That is amazing! This was 6 days and it was the longest trip I’ve taken in about 5 years. Good luck with all the projects! That is the hardest thing for me. When I should be busting ass, I am daydreaming about the trip. It didn’t help this time that I’ve just been totally swamped this whole year. So I was kinda burned out before this trip. A lot of projects are probably behind schedule now. Oh well, I’ll worry about that tomorrow haha

I’m glad you enjoyed them! I need to keep posting them. I have a few ideas in the pipeline but need to carve out time.

The thought crossed my mind more than once. Even tried making up a fake delay due to the VOG on the other island haha

I think the microbrew scene in Hawaii is still relatively new. I’m hoping the quality increases as time goes on. There were a few beers by Honolulu brewing (I think) that were really close to nailing the mark, but lacked a bit of polish. I wouldn’t think it would be hard to tweak them into amazing brews.
