Vacation!

everyday life 1 Minute

I am on my way to Helsinki without my work laptop and without any conferences to attend on that side of the pond. I will sleep for seven hours every night, and I will catch up on all my non-work activities, dozens of unanswered emails, unwritten blog posts, and unsubmitted talk proposals.

I will be together with the only person in the world who is allowed to wake up before me and make breakfast. We will go on a little adventure which we planned for a very long time. It won’t look glamorous for anybody but me, but I am very much looking forward to it. And everything will be great, even if the weather will be indeed as miserable as the weather.com says 🙂

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
