Q1 reflection
Been sick for almost 2 weeks, first the flu, then sore throat, and i'm finally left with some remnants of a hacking cough. Hopefully it'll all clear up in 3 days time.
Work has been fascinating to say the least, then a restructure and i took the freedom with a slightly lesser workload a bit way too far, but hey i ought to leave office early so that i can rest since i'm sick. I'll hunker down next week and hopefully it hasn't left a bad impression. I also need to stick some golden rules into my head, carelessness, the lack of a need for perfection. Work is work, but if i want to get ahead and climb up above others, i need to be something else the rest aren't. Anyways i know better now, won't procrastinate and just get the hang of things quicker rather than dipping my toe into the pond.
Celebrated Jon's band mate's birthday, had some rather interesting conversations and realise how out of depth i was with regards to day to day politics. Gotta sharpen up and read more. Feeling stupid is good, at least it prompts me into action.
Gotta say being with Jon has acutely increased my analytical skills, but i'm still really far off, also the 2-3yrs of not updating myself with the world has been really detrimental. Oddly i'm sharper when i'm working than when i'm studying and had so much free time in the world. *shrug* lots of new perspectives since the beginning of 2008. So much so i find it really fascinating, i guess i am growing each day, which is ultimately good. Guess 2008 has been a truly good year for me. For the most part it's been fantastic. I guess it could also be my grandma looking out for me. Hopefully in 8 months time i can still say the same.
