It’s been far too long between entries, with ironically an enormous amount to say. In true Adam fashion, I present to you, my world in bullet points:
- Moving out (first half) on Saturday to a 9th floor apartment (yay)
- Second half comes next weekend
- Haven’t spoken anywhere near enough to the following people:
- Parents
- Matt
- Dan
- Siblings
- Friends from Bundaberg
- Friends from Brisbane
- Work is going well, though continues to be incredibly busy
- I still don’t have my pay rise (grr)
- I need more sleep
- Friends are sick (literally), but will hopefully be better soon
- Still need to work out things with the ex-housemate
- Me, I’d prefer not to have the conflict, but i’m guessing as a manager that I can use this experience as a good learning module towards being a better one (manager, that is :))
- Looking forward to moving out. Looking forward to being in a better position relative to work, the gym and the pub (hmm, how they correlate together i’m still yet to justify, but i’m sure there’s a good reason).
I’ll be closer to HO (nice for early-morning meetings) and stumbling distance anywhere else.
- Still learning a lot about leadership but following through with my ideas and visions for how a team should be managed: Lots of communication, lots of feedback, clear expectations and goals.
- These are the things i’ve seen sorely lacking in a lot of teams i’ve worked for, it’s the biggest reason why I want to see it happen from here on out.
- Enjoying it a great deal
- I actually don’t mind meetings, as long as they’re constructive
- I’m going to be rolling out
- J and I are more relaxed than ever upon deciding that we were going to live together. Instead of the usual stress and tension, we’ve actually found it quite relaxing that we just get to spend time with each other. Always a good thing.
I think that’s it for now, got to get back to the daily grind (as it would be).
Loving all your work

All the rest are insignificant (sorry if you were on the list, but coughtruthhurtscough, ahem). The fact that I haven’t called is beside the point, all I’d end up doing is waking you anyway and then have to listen to you bitch about me waking you in the first 5 mins you’ve slept in a fortnight. I don’t need the baggage
Talk to ya soon big man.
