What’s this I hear you say (well, not really, I know how many people visit here on a regular basis ), no post from Adam in several days.

hmm, ghost town here folks. No Black Gold though…..

Last week was fucked. Fucked, fucked, fucked. Professionally it was both a good week and a terrible week. Funnily my one area of release could one day be read by my colleagues so I say no more than that.

It happened, I understand it, but it never makes you feel good to do it.

Weekend with the girl was great. She’s been working hard on her budget and achieved some successes this weekend which is great for her. I realise after spending time with her how important she is in my world, and how fundamentally important she is to keeping me sane.

Took her to dinner at the Rocks on Wednesday night, followed by some indulgent, drooling, slippery, chocolate and whipped cream coated Copenhagen Ice-Cream… *dribble*

Got a chance to catch up with the new boss which was good. Had some vision sessions, gazed into the future and saw lots of hard work coupled with lots of reward if i’m willing to take it to the next level….. I started wearing a suit the next day.

And I suppose that’s what it comes down to folks. Perception and image are the main items in business. How good you do a job makes no difference if nobody understands the value that you add. Subsequently i’ve got to spend more time showing people my value, as opposed to silently working in the background and not taking recognition for the value I create. A tough line, and one that I won’t always get right, but I have worked for it and I do deserve it, so i’m going to focus on it.

Next Friday I take the girl for a night out (South Pacific, followed by romantic weekend away), so will thoroughly enjoy doing very little, working none and keeping my mobile permanently in the off position!

Miss the kids in Brisbane, miss spending time with them but loving the time that i’m spending in Sydney. Haven’t talked to Mum and Dad nearly enough (mental note, call parents tonight) and now that i’ve made time for myself, there’s barely any time left for anyone else.

Rollerblades still need to be ordered, ballroom dancing still needs to be started and I still need to buy some new clothes.

Coupled with the fact that gorgeous inner-city Studio apartments are renting for less than in Brisbane, and i’ve got plenty of reasons to cheer.

Miss you all folks, and miss my week away from venting.

Talk to you all soon.
Adam
