The Tyranny of Distance

It's soooooooooo far away..........

First it was the emails at 6.45am. Then the conference call to the UK via the US at 8.00am. 75 minutes later, I hung up. And then poured a coffee. Tonight, further calls are scheduled to both the UK and India. Welcome then to a 'normal working day'.

I blogged about this quite recently. In part, because offshore engagement does occupy so many of my waking hours. In part also because I am trying to work out alternatives. The 'Tyranny of Distance' is an absolute NZ reality and one that does challenge the concept of normal living.

I owe a lot to Jacqui. My work schedule effects her life balance as much as mine. I'll be thinking about that when I get on the phone later tonight. 'Normal' this isn't. And hopefully my last posting on this for some time. Apologies. It is only Monday. I don't like these grrrr.. moments!
