Dive and Save

I came to know this phrase only recently. When my boss told me that there was going to be a "Dive and Save" for one of our colleagues who had sent resignation, I was like, "you mean saving the team, right?". We don't need to pretend otherwise, not at the moment.

I keep getting dreams of going abroad these days. Sometimes all of us, sometimes alone. And I'm all anxious and excited. I don't think it's anything to do with the fact that I am actually getting more travel offers than ever before but their sudden appearance is baffling. It must be just the near-impossibility of the whole thing. I mean, while P says he would take up more onsite stints - short, of course - willingly now onwards, the moment I mention anything remotely like a travel, he becomes all stiff and hot as if I've packed my bags already without telling him. I know my limitations and I've refused enough requests already, even the interviews outside Bangalore, just so that I don't trouble anyone. But can't for once someone say it's alright and if the push comes to shove they would take care of the kids in my absence? No, I'm to feel guilty that my boss even mentioned such a thing in the first place.

I wish I had travelled a lot when I was single. Now it's become a near luxury to travel anywhere without feeling the burden of it.
