Monday perk

As you probably read, I had a great time this weekend playing tourist. Unfortunately, the weekend always has to come to an end and I was back at work today. The day started with early meetings at our main office and just ended a few minutes ago with a teleconference at home. I have to say it was a productive day despite all of the meetings.

You've heard me complain a bit about the late hours that I sometimes have to keep because of teleconferences originating in the US. On the flip side, we have almost an entire day to ourselves each Monday before Europe and the US gets online. It is a great day to just get things done in the office without as many of the outside distractions of email and instant messenger, etc. I still have the team from Asia Pacific who are in the office the same hours as me but since most of us do global work we all tend to use Monday as our quiet day. I guess with every negative you can find at least one (if not more) positive. This is my Monday perk.
