One should not count on having free weeks in one's calendar as that "free time" might end up changing quickly. Illusion of undisturbed work week of pure concentration to the most important task at hand will break easily into millions of pieces.
This sudden change happened to me on last week, when I heard about the final schedule for our Tanzanian visitors. It was revealed to me then that I will be the one hosting our guests during their week-long visit to Joensuu on the coming week. I have nothing against hosting our international guests, actually quite the opposite - I enjoy it a lot, but the timing could not have been any worse for this task to suddenly appear. I am already lagging behind with those SMILE project templates and this is not going to make things any better. But as the SMILE project and its successful completion are important, so are our Tanzanian guests, especially as I shall be working with them in close co-operation during the coming two months in Tanzania.
Once the illusion is shattered, it is time to gather up the pieces. How does my calendar look like on next week? Oh, it seems that I do not have anything else but the SMILE tasks to do before my departure from Joensuu on Friday.. :)
