Get me through the next 2 months

Christmas is coming and I'm having a Christmas party on the 23rd at my place.

Then on the 26th the movers are coming in to pack all my stuff up. On the 28th they are moving it all to my new place. It'll take me a good week or two to get everything arranged and organized.

Then starting in January, flying to Paris, back to Singapore, then to Hong Kong, back to Singapore, to Abu Dhabi, back to Singapore, to Jakarta, back to Singapore, to Dubai, back to Singapore and finally to Brisbane. All before Valentine's Day.

Please send your stress-dealing karma my way. Thanks.

Where in Singapore do you live? I used to teach at the University of Chicago at the local campus every winter. It was great to get out of Chicago and escape the cold for a few weeks every January and March.

Let me know if you need anything in Dubai. I know every nook and corner of Dubai.

The place I'm moving to is just a stone's throw away from the Chicago GSB building. Check your pm's.

Unfortunately because of the tightness of my travels, my trip to Dubai will be a very quick in-and-out thing. Won't have much time to do anything besides work on this trip. The good news, I guess, is that I'll be going back there again in April and October (at least).

Thanks leroy... was that for good karma? By the way, I've always loved that SNL performance of "Veronica". Always makes me happy watching that.

I have weird ways of helping with coping, but I hope I helped a little. :wink:

Wow - that's quite an itinerary. Meanwhile, outside of driving my kid back to school (Colo to Wisc) in January, I probably will spend most of my waking/working hours in the study at home.

I used to travel a lot, and had to commute too. While there are some real perks to working from home (I have 2 of them cuddled up in the chair next to me), sometimes it can be very isolating. Cabin fever has set in!

Since Leroy stole my Elvis Costello video idea, I guess I will just wish you safe and enjoyable journeys.

Clement, are you an international spy, or are you on the run from the law?

Seriously, what is your occupation?
