"The Beginning"

I've started a new project for work starting this week.  I've been tasked with traveling to different customer sites over the next couple of months to manage teams of technicians as they install new computers.  I'll be leaving for my first site on Thursday of this week (Jan 6th), and should be finishing the first week of March.  Now, I know the project "officially" goes to the end of March, but my schedule ends March 1st.  We'll see as it goes if they need me to go to other locations.  I also don't have a site scheduled for the 3 weekend in January, so I'm not sure what's going to happen there yet.  What I do know is that I'll miss my family a ton.  So, I've started this blog in hopes to have another way to keep in touch.  I should be able to be home at least a day or two every week as the sites run from Friday through Monday with some travel time before and after.  So, my weekends during the project should be Tuesday/Wednesday. (Which will be a little different).


I only have 2 sites where I'll need to fly. (I hate flying by the way...It's not the flying itself, it's the constant hassle from beginning to end).  Here's my schedule:

Kendrick (Stroud)	OK
Northlake	GA
Butler	PA
Scottdale (Connellsville)	PA
Masontown	PA
Fredonia	NY
Mentor	OH

I'm flying to Oklahoma this week and Georgia next week.  The rest of the sites, I should be able to drive.  The Fredonia, NY site, I should be able to even stay at home as it's 45 minutes from home.  Which works out great as it's during Whitney's Birthday. 


I'm getting a "small" bonus at work for taking this on.  Honestly, it's probably a wash as they really aren't giving me any more than I would make for other tasks I would do that I'm missing out on now.  But, it is a good opportunity.  We'll see how it goes, but I'm going to miss my family.
