Work is kicking my butt lately...long hours...like 75-80 hour weeks...but I see light at the end of the tunnel...or at least that is what I keep telling myself.
For the past two days I have been in Pittsburgh for work - for a Project Director's meeting and a Board Meeting. We are staying at a lovely old hotel in downtown - the William Penn Omni. It is a beautful historic building with great architechure. And despite being an older buidling it is well kept and has all the modern features. My room has a wonderful view - I wish I had brought my camera - of other historic buildings - great architecture - which I LOVE!..
Yesterdays meeting was - hmmmm -- interesting to say the least. We have a funder who has an interestng personality and doesn't trust much in this world. He was on one of his rants yesterday and it made for a long, unproductive meeting.
Several of us went out for dinner last night - just to one of the three restaurants in the hotel - a small pub. While the menu was very small the food was good. I had a delicious BLT - made with crispy panchetta, roasted tomatoes and pesto mayo....so good! The company was good as well...lots of laughs...oh...and a Victory Hop Devil...yum.
I slept in slightly this morning - till 6am which is late for me! The bed was so comfortable. Worked a little then decided to get ready. Showered and then reached for the slacks I packed. Ummm...brought ones I have never worn...a size smaller than what I have been wearing...panicked a little. I am sure I am not the only person who has multiple sizes in their closet - and as I rushed to pack Monday night I pulled out the wrong pair. I need to pay more attention. But the good thing is that they actually fit! I have lost a little weight the past few months since I am working so much and not eating any meals - except dinner.
I am getting ready to head off to my first board meeting in my new position. Not sure what to expect. We'll see.
