After three weeks on site with the client which included the first week of April, I prepared to fly to Atlanta for some training. Not sure what to expect for the training, I hoped for the best and prepared for the worst. Of course, right before I leave, the weekend before, Alice and Amos come to Ann Arbor. This is the second time they are here for recruiting. I wish I could have spent more time with them. Just like last time, I saw them for only a short time and then I had to leave for work. Brian was able to spend some more time with them.
As luck would have it, Stephanie, our cousin, showed up on Sunday. She was able to see Alice, Amos, Brian and me for the day. It was great to have a mini reunion. Unfortunately, I had to leave early because I had to fly to Atlanta. April 10th weekend was very packed. I think I had a total of 5 hours of sleep that weekend. This compounded my sleep deprivation from the prior three weeks as I tried to complete all my work for the new clients. Key indicators for sleep deprivation . . . worsened dyslexia, spoonerism and broken train of thoughts. Thank goodness for my tan. This hid the dark circles underneath my eyes.
April 12 through 16 was a whirlwind in Atlanta. I didn't get to see all my friends. I did make a new friend. (Hey Adrienne!) Sunday ended up later than anticipated as the group came together and drank. No alcohol for me. Monday was great seeing Michelle, Dong and Peier. Wednesday was group dinner was okay. Italian again which is fine, for those who aren't allergic to pasta. The mussels were good. Thursday night. Oh boy. I didn't think I'd survive Friday morning class I was so tired.
Last but not least, I was able to see Jane on Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon. I wish I was more awake and had more time. I was mostly out of it. Maybe next time to Atlanta, I'll have more time to see friends and spend time with Jane.
