Now that my wife’s company requires her to be on site in Chicago, I’ll have to continue my work there. Actually, it’s not in Chicago. It’s in a little village called Schaumburg.<\/p>\n

Things haven’t been easy. We were supposed to leave this week, but the medicals haven’t been scheduled yet. Also, my Internet connection was screwed for the first two days of the week. Something with the DNS servers. And I don’t like doing half a week’s work. I’m funny that way. Either I do everything, or nothing.<\/p>\n

So I’ve lost a week’s revenue. To make matters worse, I’ll need to buy a laptop as soon as possible so that further time isn’t lost. I’m trying to do some work in advance so that in case I leave in the middle of the week, my buyers wont’ suffer.<\/p>\n

The journey will take 36 hrs! I’m dreading the thought of spending all that time doing nothing but sit in the plane. At least I won’t be alone. My wife and I can spend some quality time together without interruptions and phones. I can make progress on Burne’s “What do you say after you say hello?”. A great book with some fantastic insights into the motivation for human behavior.<\/p>\n

I’ve just finished an article about Autos in Chennai<\/a>, and how they manage to beat the laws of Economics by forming giant cartels. It’s the only piece of work on the planet that addresses an issue that should have been analyzed to death by now.<\/p>\n

Now that I’ll be in the US, I need to earn at least $15 an hour to cover my costs. Of course, my wife will be earning big time, but hey, a guy has his pride. I want to be self sufficient.<\/p>\n

Feeling rather sad about leaving my room in which I’ve worked every single day of the working week for over three months now without a break even once. I’ll miss my routine, and I hope it doesn’t make me careless.<\/p>\n

Let’s see. We should be flying in a matter of days now. Perhaps Tuesday or Wednesday morning.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
