I guess I catched this bug on last week workshop from my Thai colleague. Great. And now here I am, sitting with heavy head, bleary eyes, runny nose, sore throat and escalating fever. Great. Move on. Let me see my agenda for this week and next week, see if I can take same days off. I still need to clean up 4 days outstanding leave from my calendar otherwise I will loose it. Ouch!

Ok, tonight I should have another dinner with the Operations guys. Passed.

Wednesday afternoon 29 Nov, I will need to go to Bogor for 2 days meeting with the rest of the oil companies HR and BP Migas and return on Friday evening.

Friday evening 1 Dec, I should have dinner with the Project guys. Passed.

Saturday morning 2 Dec, Mika will have Speed Kick competition at the British International School. Oh I can’t miss this!!

Sunday 3 Dec, I was planning to take the kids swimming. Passed, no let me put: depends on the fever.

Monday 4 Dec looks ok, but I will need to catch up for the lost working days I had on Thursday & Friday the week before + finishing some work before going to Bali.

Tuesday 5 Dec looks ok, but I would expect to catch up some work before I leave to Bali in the afternoon. Salary review season has started to kicks in again.

Wednesday 6 Dec - Friday 8 Dec, I will be in Bali and dear hubby will be in Jogja. Again, My Mom will be the dedicated Day Care for Mika & Pascal.

Friday evening 8 Dec, I would hope that I could catch the plan to return to Jakarta because…

Saturday 9 Dec, Mika will have his Tae Kwon Do test (yay!) Hopefully he will be a full yellow band by the week after!

Sunday 10 Dec, swimming again?

OK, so theoritically I’d be able to take some day off in the week of 11 - 15 Dec but that’s the payroll week! Grrr….

What about about week 18 - 22 Dec? Rrr…I am scheduled to go to Surabaya, really. We just got cry for help e-mail few days a go and it was not fair to leave them swimming without any devices. So, probably I will be there by this week. Note: don’t forget to put bullet vest and bring some ammunition.

Sooo…I guess this will leave the week of 26 - 29 Dec for me to take some days off. But my colleague will be on leave by then. Hmmm…

Let me decide first and I will get back to you. I promise.
