remaining blissfully ignorant

Friday, May 18. 2007 – Category: OpenSolaris

in shanghai, staying in perhaps one of the nicest hotels i’ve ever stayed at, and had about 30 minutes to kill while wendy naps.

i thought to myself, “huh. wonder what’s going on at work.”

punched into work, opened up mutt – saw the ridiculous number of new emails – and quit without reading a single one.

pulled up the good ‘ol trusty planet and saw lots of references to Project Indiana and other neat announcements/rumblings-going-on.

looks like i have some catching up to do when i get back. oh well. for now, i’ll continue to remain blissfully ignorant of what’s going on at work for another two weeks and enjoy the rest of my honeymoon/vacation.

my manager told me before i left that the first week of vacation is always spent worrying about work – and it was completely true. it wasn’t until we got to Gora Kadan that i finally stopped thinking about work, and i hadn’t thought about it until now.

fortunately, seeing the immense volume of email awaiting me prompted me to continue forgetting. i’m off to go explore the French Concession, and eat my way through Nanjing Dong Lu now. see you all in 2 weeks.

Congratulations on your wedding! Definitely just ignore work on your honeymoon. It’s nice to enjoy this time when everybody knows they can’t expect a reply from you immediately.

You really, really, really don’t want to read most of that mail (I’m sure people can link you to the funny bits), not even when you get back. Insanity lurks in those threads, waiting for the unsuspecting.

Heh, you picked an interesting couple of weeks to go on honeymoon that’s for sure. Obviously looking forward to having you back, but as Rich said, you’d probably be wise trying to find someone who can digest that all. Have a great time chilling around Shanghai!

Enjoy the moment Steve. And don’t forget you can tune in to enjoy Liverpool reclaiming the Champions League title on Wednesday
