Week 216 - Flying

  • I spent the last week in sunny San Diego for work. I met up with the rest of our Professional Services leadership team for meetings and an All-Hands presented by our parent company’s CEO.
  • The journey was just as I remembered it from my last three visits: 15 hours from home to hotel and very dull. I tried and failed to sleep using my new Trtl, so instead watched films on the little screen and exhausted my podcast backlog.
  • Each morning I was in the office in La Jolla before 8am, partly because our office is next door to the hotel, but mainly because of the eight-hour time difference. After long days working I dropped off my backpack in my hotel room and headed back out for dinner and drinks together. As a result this weekend back home I’ve slept and done very little.
  • Food in La Jolla was pretty good. Sushi at Blue Ocean, large quantities of Mexican at Red O and many moreish dim sums after a worthwhile wait at Din Tai Fung. The Rubi club sandwich from nearby Rubicon Deli was as good as always.
