Zzzzz

This has been a mentalist week. I'm slightly in awe of the number of words I've written, social things attended, and friendly relations with colleagues maintained. On Monday we have our annual charity event, and like a fool I volunteered to event-manage it. It has been fun but has coincided with a week in which I've had a major statutory bid to write, taken on an apprentice, written two policy outlines, and attended a conference. Here is what I have learned:

  • Planning is good - it allows you to do more things than ad-hoc can dream of.
  • It is good to get on with your colleagues. Today each and every one of my 25 colleagues popped into my office to ask if they could assist me in any way. I love them.
  • I'm better at writing stuff for my job than I was at writing academic essays.
  • If you need to be undisturbed, leave the office.
  • And finally, when in a bad mood, it is invaluable to announce this to the office. This probably wouldn't work for someone who was grumpy everyday, but it meant I got a day of kid-glove treatment when I most needed it. Again, I love the people I work with.

So that was dull for you, but good for me. I'm learning so much right now about what stimulates me, what makes me overflow with joy And I'm realising that I'm not a lazy person, and that in fact when switched on, I can do more than I ever imagined. This isn't meant to sound like I'm great, but rather is a reflection on the amount of untapped potential in all of us. If you don't like your job, I urge you to leave! Your life will explode with good things if you're in the right job!

 

Oh God I'm so very tired though...

Brrrr

It's too cold to go to work today. And the day is looming long ahead of me.

Adulthood eh?

Awww

I really like my friends. They teach me things, they make me laugh, and they are just generally very good. Not a single one of them is flawless, but that doesn't matter. So that means I don't have to be flawless, which is lucky really, eh?

*warm fuzzy feelings*

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

I wish it would snow. My street would look so pretty in the snow. One of my neighbours has the most pretty, tasteful displays ever going on outside their house. Maybe I will take a photo for you!
