Hello Kalni,
my ears have been burning?
(in case your not familiar with that expression it means in UK that someone is talking about you)
I took a wee break from the boards I was getting a bit too bogged down and I knew you were in good hands.
Pleased the trip to NY went well.
Not sure I understand the "audit me" bit does that mean your department or you personally?
The other reason I wasn't posting much was my cat got run over -we think, and had to have lots of TLC and then she had her tail off-poor thing is not looking so beautiful now with a shaved bottom and no tail but she is just today allowed to go out and straight up a tree she went so loss of tail has not affected her balance.
Sorry your a bit off, I found that after I had been away and had a lovely time when ever I returned home it took a few days to get back into the "it's just me now" mode.
Escape from reality is both necessary and a welcome respite but then we have to come back, down to real life with all it's mundaneness (actually I don't think that is a word but you will get my meaning)
I think your attitude and resilience will stand you in good stead. In other words YOU will survive and go on to thrive and all will be well.
