Busy away from office this week

For everyone out there that enjoys St. Patrick's Day, I hope everyone had a good time and much fun. This week I did not get too much in terms of taking in the holiday, but it made the time go by quick.

This weekend I was sent out by my work to do some forensic and incident response consulting for some clients down in Southern California. The fuse was very short on this and I ended up leaving on a plane flight down to LA with just a few hours of the original notification. I got to work with some really good people that work hard at their job and really but all their efforts to bear. I even saw a novel method of pushing out a script they used while I was on-site so it was pretty rewarding. In all it was good work to do and then on Tuesday I was returning back to the Central Valley.

Wednesday I had to go back into the Bay Area and visit clients in San Jose. All day visit there was productive and I got to use much of my stored up energy. I noticed that I really seem to come alive when I am doing my job and especially so when there is a mission to accomplish. As a side note, I tried visiting this client a week ago but car problems left me on the side of the road waiting for a tow and getting the alternator replaced. Sometimes, older cars do that.

I have my wife and son Jason to thank for being very supportive and understanding of all this time away as it take away time we would normally spend if things were quiet. Jason is too young to truly understand but I do think that he notices something is not the normal.
