scheduling agenda 2023 v3

scheduling agenda 2023 v2
while i am still not traveling for work (much), there is finally an exciting update to this here travel schedule. there will be a road trip this year, and while it may seem excessive to take 14 days to travel 3300 miles, it is at least a little more fun than just driving to sierra vista and back in a week, still covering 3000 miles. so in our infinite wisdom we decided to make this a family vacation. naturally, i will never turn down an opportunity to visit national parks like bryce canyon, death valley and or crater lake!

scheduling agenda 2023 v1
in 2022 i traveled only 3 times for work: 2 client visits in sacramento, ca and las vegas, nv, 1 internal conference in santa barbie, ca. it does not look like there is going to be more travel in 2023, because it seems most clients prefer virtual meetings over in-person meetings. certainly it saves our clients mucho dineros and it saves me countless hours of travel, but i do miss seeing their reactions when doing my training sessions. as well as i miss traveling and discovering new places. but, i should not complain, so i will not.
that said, this is an exhaustive list of things and trips planned.

it has now been 2 years since the pandemic started and while the company i work for almost started opening up for travel again, omicron hit and we are still stuck doing our client engagements through zoom. and yes, i am developing zoom fatigue so i can barely wait until i get to travel again.
other than what is listed below there are no plans to travel as of yet, although i am percolating a way to visit my parents some time this year. but this will also depend on how the coronavirus behaves and whether the usa and⁄or europe will go into lockdown.

scheduling agenda 2021 v2
it has been a year and a half since the corona virus pandemic grounded everyone and everything. all my work is done through virtual meetings and it will remain virtual for the foreseeable future thanks to fucking morons not doing to bare minimum to keep the virus from spreading and mutating and spreading. no vacations have been scheduled, but while denise and patricia went down to georgia, travis and i got out to the coast for a couple of days. there might be another short getaway, but there might also not be and spending christmas in new york city also looks a little dubious.
so, my schedule will still look pretty empty; hopefully we will be able to get back to quote unquote normal around summer time 2022, when a majority of people will have been vaccinated and the various variants have been successfully combatted. until then:
working @ home office
march 5 start of #weirdminitrip2021; drive to yachats, or (staying @ fireside motel)
march 6 explore yachats and surroundings
march 7 drive back home; end of #weirdminitrip2021

august 22 start of #weirdminitrip2021v2; drive to yachats, or (staying @ fireside motel)
august 23 explore yachats and surroundings
august 24 drive back home; end of #weirdminitrip2021v2
working @ home office
august 26 pick up denise from pdx
september 1 pick up patricia from pdx
working @ home office
etc.
october 3 weekend; in the pm visit the oregon symphony playing mahler's second symphony @ the arlene schnitzer concert hall

scheduling agenda 2021 v1
it has almost been a year since the corona virus pandemic grounded everyone and everything. all my work is still done through virtual meetings and, frankly, i am getting pretty tired of zoom. no vacations have been scheduled, yet, but we will go out for a few quick weekend getaways. maybe there will be bigger travel plans in the (near) future, but there is always the possibility of spending christmas in new york city.
so, my schedule will still look pretty empty; hopefully we will be able to get back to quote unquote normal around summer time, when a majority of people will have been vaccinated. until then:
working @ home office
march 5 start of #weirdminitrip2021; drive to yachats, or (staying @ fireside motel)
march 6 explore yachats and surroundings
march 7 drive back home; end of #weirdminitrip2021

scheduling agenda 2020 v3
the corona virus pandemic still has everyone and everything grounded, possibly until the end of the year, so it looks like there will be very little travel, just like there has been no travel since march 19! all my work is now done through virtual meetings. all our vacations, #fathersontrip2020 and #weirdroadtrip2020, have been canceled, but we will go out for a quick weekend getaway and there is still the possibility of spending christmas in new york city, but that depends on how the pandemic is treated and/or whether it is going to be safe to travel.

scheduling agenda 2020 v2
suddenly things screeched to a halt, the corona virus pandemic has left many people to shelter in place and work from home, which means that my work and travel schedule drastically changed. my client in honolulu was the first to suspend all non-essential travel, which meant that our family spring break was canceled, and not long after we also made the decision to postpone the #fathersontrip2020 to juneau. other client visits that were pending got either postponed or moved to virtual meetings.

moving towards the last quarter of the year already and travel has been and probably will be relentless. however, some time by the end of otober/beginning of november i should have reached the coveted 75k gold status with alaska again, meaning i can continue to travel reasonably comfortable in a lot of cases. but first, after this week, i get to go on a road trip with my dad, which we both have been looking forward to.

scheduling agenda 2019 v3
it is almost halfway through the year so i thought it would be a good idea to start with a clean slate again. so far this year has been a little rough travel-wise, just because i am away from home so much, but at least my status with alaska is such that i have been upgraded to first class for most of my flights so far. at the end of my birthday week i am exactly 163 miles short of reaching gold status for the year, which means that i have the remainder of the year to reach 75k gold (only 35,000 miles). sadly, i will probably reach this milestone somewhere in november if things keep going the way they are!

scheduling agenda 2018 v3
now that we are close to the start of #weirdroadtrip2018 i will truncate pretty much everything up until early june. in less than a week we are off on our approximately 5,000 mile adventure through, amongst others, 12 national parks (before trump and zinke turn them all into oil fields). at least i hope we will be able to visit 12 national parks because late winter and early spring snowfall still has 3 mountain passes closed off although i know park ranger crews are hard at work clearing the snow in time for vacation season. fingers crossed!
update: the going-to-the-sun road in glacier park is not opened all the way from the west entrance to the east entrance, yet, so i will have to make a contingency plan for the two trips i had planned. tioga road/pass (in yosemite) and hwy 89 (lassen national park highway) have been opened already!

scheduling agenda 2018 v2
we are only barely 2 months into the year and already i have to create a second schedule just so you, gentle reader, do not have to see all my travel dates that are in the past. and seeing as i am basically traveling every week, this list is rather large and cumbersome to maintain.
as of right now, saturday february 24, all hotel reservations for #weirdroadtrip2018 have been made, but before we get to those exciting 3 weeks on the road first there is the #weirdgraduationtrip2018 later this week, and in between there will be a growing list of client visits.

scheduling agenda 2017 v2
after almost 4 years of working remotely i am (finally) (starting) to travel again. i'm sure my family hates every bit of it, but to be honest, i have missed it. not just because of travel, but because i get to work with smaller clients on short engagements where the range of services provide casts a much wider net than being part of a large client implementation or conversion where i would be one of the cogs in the wheel.
since i only rolled off the remote projects the calendar still is thin, but i am positive this will change soon enough!

not sure what work travel will be like in 2016 since i am continuing to work with my one client who i am servicing remotely; there might be travel, there might not be any travel. it is also unsure what is going to happen once i aon the left coast: i might stay with the eastern psg team until the end of my current project (projected to last until somewhere in 2017!) or i might get transferred to the western psg team. i will have to wait and see ...

i know, i am a little early to be posting about 2015, but i do not see myself travel anymore this year.
also, no work-related travel has been scheduled yet for the beginning of 2015, but perhaps there is a chance that i get to go to europe (location unknown, but probably london or 020) for my client; i am not betting $$ on it, though, they have been pennywise and pound foolish lately.

since the denver client has effectively postponed their go live date from 01/01/2012 to 04/01/2012 (really, april fools, no joke) the likelihood is that the travel in the first 3-4 months of 2012 will look exactly the same as the last 3-4 months of 2011 ... the upside of this travel is that i get to reach platinum status with delta and collect a whole lot of frequent flyer miles to go towards our 2012 summer vacation to europe. small victories ...

there's still a few "undetermineds" in the agenda, but there's 3 clients assigned to me that have not yet decided when to have me on-site for training. and , the company's pipeline is finally purging, so there's a lot of requests for consultants and so far my cloning try-outs have not been too successful ... i may have to get travis up to speed, since kids these days pick up on new technologies really fast :P

so far, the client in cedar rapids is going live with phase 1 in the week of monday to friday december 14 to december 18, so it makes sense for me, and a collegue, to be there, a lot, to give them that warm and fuzzy feeling. and of course, to rectify any issues that may crop up.

scheduling agenda 2009 v7
still pretty busy at my client in cedar rapids and in fact, i might have to get more busy for them, because things are not going as smooth as everyone hoped. luckily it is not just me, or us as the software vendor, that is the problem, but a combination of a lot of factors that make this project kinda convoluted. but still, the people are nice enough. the bad thing, however, is that delta doesn't offer a direct flight to cedar rapids in the evening anymore, nor does it offer a connection through cincinnati. this means my travel time will increase with a couple of hours, because now i have to connect in either detroit, minneapolis or denver!

you can see that most of the "undetermined" has magically disappeared. the good thing is that the "probably pto" has turned into pto!
scheduling agenda 2009 v6
i know, i know, i promised this over a week ago, but sometimes it takes a little bit more time to hammer out all the details ... and they are still not hammered out ... but, even though we're in the middle of summer, or maybe because we're in the middle of summer, things are heating up travel-wise, regardless.

don't worry about the "undetermined" in this list, i am pretty confident they will get filled up pretty quickly. still working for 66% of my time for the cedar rapids client and now there's at least 3 account managers that (seemingly only) want me for any on-sites for their new and/or converting clients. being in demand is not a bad thing, i suppose ...
scheduling agenda 2009 v5

mainly, i will be traveling to cedar rapids, because i will be spending about 66%, or more, of my time for that particular client. the biggest downside to travel to cedar rapids is that there are not too many flights and the departure times are kinda strange as well, so i will always lose a day and a half just to get there and back again.
scheduling agenda 2009 v4
this list will be the most recent and updated list of all my travels till the end of may. after my last trip in may i will not travel for about a month. i will take a couple of weeks off and the rest of the time i will work from home, so i can assist as much as i can around the house right after travis is born. so without further ado:

as you can see, still quite a lot of "undetermined' in the list, but we can see that things are starting to pick up again, so hopefully within the next few weeks my calender will be fully booked through the end of march. and clients always arrange things at the very last moment, so who knows how things are going to fill out ... and if i don't have to travel, hey, that means that i get to spend more time at home, which is also not a punishment :-)

lots has been changed in a week and a half and i'm sure there will be even more changes. lots of changes also at the homefront. our daughter's room has had a complete overhaul: new bed, new dresser, new desk, new chairs, new bookcase/shelves, new lamps, new bedding, new new new, so when she gets back this sunday she will be sleeping in a shiny new bedroom. and we already know she is excited about it. the remainder of this week my beautiful wife and i will be overhauling our living room, because we bought us a new chest of drawers, a tv bench and a couple of bookcases/display shelves. it's a start, because our son's room also needs to be redecorated slash fumigated and our bedroom is also in dire need of a new bed. but all in time ... :-)
scheduling agenda 2008 v4
as time progresses things at the work front are settling in, plus having sent in an updated skills set to my superiors i am getting scheduled for more and more clients that fit my scope and interest. the sad thing is that i've already become the go-to-guy for difficult clients or last-minute client visits ... *sigh*

there's still quite a lot "undetermined" in there, but don't panic, these slots will get filled with either client visits or training assignments. the good news is that i've managed to avoid the blackberry trap, and instead i will get a company paid razr v3, so i will be clipping two cell phones to my belt (to make me feel like a plugged-in tim taylor). but of course the most interesting part of my agenda are the list 5 listed items; as you will understand we all are looking forward to our dutch trip very much.
scheduling agenda 2008 v3 - updated
got home excited friday night, fully expecting the valentine's gift to be delivered by the man in brown (according to the ups tracker it was delivered at our front door around 3pm that day), but was disappointed to learn that that wasn't the case ... but on the upside, earlier this evening a neighbor from the next row of houses brought by the package that was delivered on her doorstep ... so, yay, the gift could be opened and enjoyed. for those of you who are interested (and i can't see any reason why you shouldn't be) follow this link to see the gift (be sure to click Book Preview).
at work things are already to heat up. i just barely have a week's worth of training and self-study under the belt and i am already called on to go to client sites, clients using modules i am not familiar with and clients who are hostile. so, i am carefully trying to fend off those clients i need to stay away from, at least until i get my feet wet, and opting to go to those clients who are at least in the general vicinity of my home. now that i have a home i really want to spend as much time as i can at home. luckily i have the cojones to say no :D
so without further ado:

scheduling agenda 2008 v2
after a few easy & relaxed weeks at home i will be starting my usual work routine this week. first i'll do 2 weeks of training and after that i am likely to be assigned my first domestic clients. something i am very curious about, because there is a world of difference between the way of working with clients in europe and the us. but with europe being much more complex i should not have any trouble adjusting, but i'll revisit that once i have had client experiences stateside.

everything else here is shaping up nicely, still waiting for some important paperwork to actually get two important things set up: a bank account (including credit card) and a car. other than that, have a good one :-)
scheduling agenda 2008 v1 (updated)
so, the hectic month of december came to an end and there are so many wonderful things to look back on for the entire year with the wedding and the honeymoon as highlights of course, but it's awesomer to know that 2008 will even be a much better year :-)
maybe, when transferring to the US operations i might even be able to slow down the pace of my work, but at least for the first 3 weeks of the new year i am still part of the international operation, hence my travel schedule:
january 2 travel to amsterdam
january 3 arrive in amsterdam, work @ the office (staying @ sister's house)
january 4 visa interview at the US consulate general (done & dusted)
january 5 visit my parents in rotterdam (staying @ parents' house)

january 9 travel to warsaw (staying @ the intercontinental)

january 14-17 working @ client site in warsaw
january 17 travel back to amsterdam (staying @ hilton airport hotel)
january 18 travel back home in business class
january 19-20 weekend - rest
but after all this there should be no more travel overseas, just domestic travel ... although i know my managers are trying to get me involved with a large client in halifax, newfoundland. i know it's not overseas, but it's a long ways away from atlanta and it's cold up there too, brrrrrr :D
anyways, see you in 2008, happy new year!

things are still hectic, and although i hoped i would've been rotated off clients, they all struggled for my dedicated time, up until the very end. of course, since three of my clients more or less expect my full-time devotion coupled with the fact that i still didn't manage to clone myself, i have been assigned to just one client: the hardest one ... which will take me to warsaw probably every week i'm still in europe ... my dad will be happy, because i can supply him with enough bison piss wodka :D

scheduling agenda 2007 v1
even while i know january and february are going to be crazy busy, not much travel dates have been fixed yet. so far:
jan 7 go to masters of sprint [link] with dad
jan 8 red-eye flight to london (back in one aldwych again)
jan 8-10 working @ client site in london
jan 10 traveling back home to rotterdam
jan 11-12 do client training in office amsterdam
one client goes live across europe in the last week of january and the first week of february, so i foresee spending lots of time in london and munich before, during and after go live. another client needs to go live across europe by the end of march and we've already established a 4-day workshop in frankfurt from feb 26 to mar 1. for this client i will probably spend a lot of time in frankfurt and munich and possibly other locations like paris, luxemburg and who knows walnut creek. and i am responsible for another client that needs to upgrade in france and holland and want to roll out to countries in central europe.
like i said, busy times ahead ...
