It feels like months since I have had to travel away for a week from work so I’m almost glad to be here at the airport, or maybe its just the warm glow you get when your taxi arrives at the scheduled time to take you to the airport – unlike last time.

I decided not to fly up to Sydney last night and instead catch the red-eye (well _my_ eyes are red) this morning. This is always a tricky manouver because it relies on Qantas flights out of Canberra not being delayed too long and the Sydney rail system functioning at peek performance. I may as well give up now . . .

When I am up in Sydney this week I’ll be delivering a hybrid version of our .NET training courses which covers a broad spectrum on the first four days then dives in deeper to some enterprise-level subjects on the last day. The last time I taught this format for this particular customer would have been about twelve months ago.

Paul Glavich will be sitting in on the course at various stages during the week so it’ll be good to catch up. One of the Sydney .NET User Groups is also having a meeting on Wednesday (although I had better check this – it’ll be a long trip out to North Ryde only to be disappointed).

Well – thats the end of my hot chocolate and bacon and egg toastie, time to go and queue like the other cattle at the security check-point.

Update: The Qantas flight didn’t arrive on time so I didn’t get to the venue until 8:30am, gotta love that.
