US 2009: Under pressure
http://gracewing8.blogspot.com/2009/05/under-pressure.html
After last year's trip to the US, the first in 9 years I was not expecting another one this soon. However the engineers with whom I work have pulled some strings so I'll be there for 3 weeks working on further upgrades to their system. Wednesday, May 20, 2009. I also organised my expense claim which has lightened my wallet of a heap of receipts. I watched the Phantom of the Opera DVD that I borrowed from the library the other day.

Singapore and Canada 2013. Another year has passed, and once again I head overseas for this year's Mensa conferences. Monday, September 23, 2013. Wait a minute - or an hour or a day. It's all over and today we are heading in various directions at various times. It seems 10 of us have flights around 9pm so we'll share cabs to the airport but many goodbyes have already been said. I have spent the rest of the time just sitting in the hotel lobby, doing stuff on the internet and chatting to others from Mensa...
