herewiss13It occured to me, as I was posting those last random thoughts, that someone might be vaguely curious as to why I was still in the United States at this point.
Sufficed to say, the India business trip has been postponed indefinitely.

The company had such an awful year financially that they won't currently hire the people needed to replace the people I was going to train (who are currently doing something else). So I got to be stuck with needles and fill out an expense report for no pressing reason.
There does seem to be a good chance that things will be re-evaluated next quarter, which means I get to do the whole thing over again, only this time during Monsoon season. It's really weird: I was never crazy about going, but I finally made my peace with it...some odd Keubler-Ross thing, perhaps. Now my mental calendar has this two-week slot marked 'India' that's no good and I'm having to fight inertia I didn't want in the first place! And I'll get to do the whole thing over again in a few months.
...on the plus side, since I started generating training documents, they put me in charge of re-organizing our team's procedural manual, which hasn't been overhauled in the last two years (that's about 4 large-scale procedural changes ago). Right now we're getting by on duct-tape and Tribal knowledge. It's got its own frustrations, but at least I don't have to take phone calls from the general public (for now).
