It's been a crazy week, trying to tie up loose ends before winging off to Gothenburg for yet another conference.  New work coming in meant that I could not clear the backlog as much as I wanted to, and both the executive and I were pretty frazzled after 4 days of non-stop work .... had to cancel dinner at Sage with boonlong which was a pain, but managed to ( Read more... )

Shayan will hate me for saying this, but I am really looking forward to staying at the Park Hyatt Toronto during my forthcoming conference in - wow - 2 weeks' time ..... 6 glorious nights there - although I am "supposed" to be working and doing the whole shameless marketing routine there ..... sometimes, travelling with your boss does have its advantages ( Read more... )
