The WAR starts again

Each time i get out on an assignment to support large pre-sales deliveries, my spare time to myself during the assignment is usually easily explained in a mathematical graph, following the nominal distribution. Given this, i can be very free upon arrival and at the mid of the assignment, hell would seem a better place to be. Typically, during the peak, the core technical and comercial consultants congregate in a single room we call the WAR room and we're usually isolated from the outside world!! Here's some activities from the current War room.
Above pic. -->Ragnar, Yasser & myself. I must say, at times we can do really crazy thing. You cant blame us, we live in this room from the early morning hours till wee hours at night...and NOPE..none of us are gay!

Above pic --> Ragner & me. Ragner is married to an a lady from the same company, makes it easier to commute to and from work. The below picture was taken during the last assignment in Japan late last year. FYI, the below picture was taken pass 12 midnight where at least 40% of the office was still occupied! The $ at stake, 2.5B USD.

But i'm not complaining. The job is great, you meet great people all around the world. So much to learn. The customers we work with can be very "interesting", ranging from highly technical CTO's to filthy rich businessmen from Arab finding a good place to dump 5 or 6B USD. I would love if they dump 1% of it into my MBB bank account :) As much as i love my job, my mum doesnt!

My mum's answer to this is to put me up in the meat market! She says you need a women! (Update-too many busy body emails, and i cant find the strike through option, so font reduced in size, irrelevant now!) which i agree, not that there isnt any ...so many gorgeous women out there ... as long as one doesnt complicate matters by bringing in THE word ....marriage!!!!!! pheww.... as Russell Peters put it in his famous commedy central....it is traumatic to move from women to woman! hehe ...
