I cleaned the kitchen and put on a spread for K that you would have been proud of.  Love and miss you Mum.  Happy Mothers Day.

Work is becoming a trauma.  My oh-so-wonderful assistant coordinator piked out the day I got back from overseas.  I am now not only fixing the stuff he didnt do right, but also now trying to do the work of two people (again).  We are searching yet again for another senior staff member and, now that The Peon has a full time job, I have decided to ( Read more... )

We now officially have an assistant coordinator at work.  HOORAY! 

I have noticed more and more that my world is speeding up and I wonder if it has something to do with my more scheduled existence.  More and more I am noticing time's passage, be it because I have a meeting in half an hour, or work begins at 2, or there is only 3 hours to complete this mountainous task.  Whatever the reason the clock is in my ( Read more... )

It is very bizarre.  I have worked more hours in the last two weeks than any other working fortnight EVER and yet I feel buoyant and not dragged down by it all.  Granted at the moment I am feeling pretty exhausted and am taking a lot longer to comprehend information (ah sleep, that is what you are for).  I think I am enjoying being the boss.  While ( Read more... )

I had one of the best night's out last night.  I was lucky enough to have a wonderful birthday dinner with all my close friends (who live in Bris) in the one place.  The food was, as usual, delicious and the company was wonderful.  I felt truly blessed to be surrounded by such loving, interesting, creative, special people, and doubly blessed to ( Read more... )

The great lunch discussion was a success.  Much was spoken about, much was resolved, and for me at least, I am a happier person for it.  Thanks C.
