Abu Dhabi

I’m travelling to Abu Dhabi tomorrow for 9 days with work. We’re flying with Emirates, who thankfully go direct from Glasgow, and staying in the awe-inspiring Emirates Palace hotel.

While I can’t go into detail about what I’ll be doing, at least not yet, this represents the culmination of several months work for both myself and Marque. Everything should go smoothly, but fingers crossed.

Dealing with job-related stress

After having one of the most frustrating days in recent memory, I’ve had to leave work with a problem (actually, several closely related problems) unresolved as my stress levels were making it impossible to either concentrate or think rationally.

In any job where you’re essentially solving problems for a living you’re going to have issues that take longer than you think they should – that I understand and accept. The hard part for me is trying to stop thinking about it (on the train home I had my notepad and pen out, scribbling notes about the problem in case they come in useful tomorrow).

Let’s hope a movie (Aliens), a cold beer and an early night do the trick.
