I had a busy week with many moving parts that required a little patience and organisation. As someone who struggles with personal organisation and procrastination at the best of times, I was quite surprised with my ability to successfully organise and execute all the required bits within the constraints that were self-imposed. If you know, you know.
Next week looks to be no less busy, and I’m going to be going between many projects over the week.
August and September are an odd time as there is a big lull in activity, particularly economic activity. I’ve been fortunate to have had several training slots fulfilled that have helped me keep the machine turning, as it were.
This lull has recently started turning around to a much busier outlook over the coming months. I’ve been in the position to turn some work down as I wouldn’t have been able to properly do the work to the high standards I set for myself.
It’s been more of a getting-back-to-my-routine type of week.
I had a lot of outstanding work that I had let go of before leaving for a few weeks, and that work had become more urgent and more important, so I set time aside to work on it. I managed to progress well, but a few things still need to be done.
I had two full days taken up by training, something that I really enjoy and judging by the feedback I get and the feedback from the training company that I work with; I am good at that job.
With no notes here, you can probably guess that I have not been around for a while. I took an extended break and have been out of the country for a month. I’m back now and wanted to share some things I had been doing without getting too personal.
I took a bit of a holiday and tried disconnecting myself from the internet and work. I largely succeeded but inevitably did a little work while I was away.

I say go for it. We might find out what Social Networks are really worth then. I suspect not a lot.
