...that isn't always a good thing.....even if you have the best boss. 

As a result of our 4pm Friday conversation, I'm heading to Raleigh on Monday, as opposed to returning to Colorado.  I'm going to lend a hand on the other side of the Big Project.   While I'm glad to be called on to help, and I am for sure NOT complaining about that, there is some downside to this trip -

Wardrobe:  I came to Michigan to hang with my family.  My wardrobe consists of yoga pants, t-shirts and jeans.  Not exactly the best dressed business traveler, even by Sun's casual standards.

Elevation:  I was just getting re-acclimated to the Rockies, and now I'm going to sea level.  I'll be gasping for air (again) when I return. 

Toiletries:  I packed super-dooper light planning to raid my sisters goodies and try new products.  Therefore I'll have no salon products when I arrive for business, which I guess will be fitting given my wardrobe is so down home casual.  I might like my salon products more than the average mountain girl....

Doggies:  The Mountain Dogs were already suffering from feeling abandoned by me....who knows how much doggie cold shoulder I'll get when I return.....big bummer for me.

Regardless, the upside is I'm already on the road, and this saves me the trouble of wondering what to pack.  I'm also already on Eastern Time, so I won't have to adjust day one of working on this time zone.  Always a silver lining...
