It is unbelievable what a long hard day it was yesterday - so no entry from Wednesday.

The auditor changed a bit on us - got tougher, dug deeper, looked longer. We ended up being at work until 11:30 last night trying to make sure we had information on all the open issues. Then, I got back to the hotel and worked until 2:30am.

I was so tired this morning - and just wanting the audit to get over.

Thankfully that happened this morning. We were able to go through all the open issues and we finished at about 11:00 am. There was one issue the inspector found and reported - but it was not on the product I work on :) Yeah. In fact it has an issue that has to have corporate involvement so it wasn't anything this site could have done anything about.

I was just so relieved when he left. A huge weight gone and now looking forward to getting home!

Some of the people from Madison left a note for me at the front desk this morning when I checked out. It was really nice and a great way to start the day - although it also made me pretty homesick and realized how long it has been since I have been home.

Tonight I am in Shanghai - the group I am with is out shopping but I was just too tired and frankly a bit sick of everyone. I just wanted to spend the night repacking my suitcase and getting ready for travel tomorrow.

Can't wait to sleep in my own bed tomorrow night :) And most of all to see everyone at home.
