Been a long time since I have posted. For the most part, my job has regular hours and usually a low-stress environment. But once in a while, things get absolutely insane.
For the last four months, my team and I have been basically trying to make upper management’s dreams come true on a big project. On time, high-quality, on budget. As the joke goes, pick any two. We actually came close to getting all three, but there have been a lot of small issues that creeped up that involved late nights, missed vacations, occasional weekend phone calls.
Through all of that I’ve managed to make time for the family, kept my health, and held on to my last shred of sanity.
What has really suffered the most was my love of a good cigar and my blog. I managed to get a few in during the week during this hectic time, but I pretty much smoked the same few cigars repeatedly. I rarely had the time to write for the blog, and when I did I had nothing interesting to say. For the first time in many years, I’m actually out of touch with the goings on in the cigar industry.
I walked in to my local cigar shop today for the first time in four months and it was the most fun I’ve had in a while. There are a bunch of new cigars to try on the shelves. Looks like I might have something to write about again very soon.
