Off to London again

I’m off to London again tomorrow morning. This time just for business. Two days of meetings at the London office. And of course if I get lucky enough a quick meeting with Philip. I have to admit that it would make me very, very happy to see him again. Now when I've met in him in real life chatting over MSN feels a little bit strange. I want to hear the sound of his voice, his very British expressions and laugh in real time, not just see him over a web cam connection. I’ll try to do everything possible to see him.

I have to be at the airport by 6 am so I’m sitting here wondering why on earth I went along with taking the early bird flight. I’ve done that some many times before going to Paris and I know that by 3 or 4 o’clock in the afternoon I’m going to be close to dozing off. And by dinnertime I’ll be like a zombie having a hard time to carry on any intelligent conversation. The next trip London (and there are plenty of them to come) I will be flying in the night before. No matter what people think. I’m not made for getting up at 4 am and then spend the whole day in a meeting trying to make some smart decisions. I'm sorry to admit it, but I'll never be one of those persons made of steel who can live on very little sleep. I need sleep to function and to be a somewhat smart and bright person, especially when it comes to meetings and work related things.
