Bought a new diary today as mba starts officially next week.

afternoon poo

Not sure what I want from life anymore....this past year has been difficult

kobo self publushing

difficult to talk

I find it very difficult to talk to people without making myself sound like a tit......

I have tried to treat 'every conversation like a job interview' but I'm just not very good at it. However, I am fairly good at takung a decision and then stickung to it....particularly if it is stopping myself doing something. Therefore, I plan the following:

1. Now vow of silence

2. People wong get your words

3. Count to 5 before talking

sunday with tim

1. As technical as ever need to be

2. Need to be better package manager

3. Need to be more like ben

4. To become pm need to get on tge right job eg prison houseblock

5. Aim to be con man over next two years

6. Give consistent message. Tell tim never work with jason again....told gareth best team ever worked for.....provoked tim to give some fatherly advice......this is not a good place to be.

Start writing cv tonight.

Do I have the ballsgo resign?

3. Fixed car mirror

if big g asks about j

1. J didnt adapt his management style to the team working for him

2. He didnt manage/resolve the significant isdues effecting the project...he monitored them and tracked lack of progress but did not instigate resolution

3. We failed him because we didnt give him the 'tough love' to change his approach

morning poo

Called home last night.

Dad had his second operation yesterday.

Eye is sorer this time round.

Will have to see how it is after  each treatment and how this will effect work.

Think I'll go home on friday.

chat with tim

Told him I do not want to work with j again.

He told me that I will be at wdhq for 4-6 weeks after handover.

What will I say to big g if he asks me what my thoughts about j are?

good day

Some good coffee

Some good work

Some good pasta

Now await some good sex

Then some good sleep

validation

First proper day on it.

Found some problems.

Feelin good.

morning poo

Terrible nights sleep last night.

Woke up at 2:30.

Couldnt stop thinking about resignation letter.

Today however, has started well.

Bit of mba reading this morning.

Bit of running round site this morning.

monday morning poo

Lets be honest...I spend most nights on my computer anyway...signing up for a mba just meand I'll be spending this time productively on the internet

awesome wedding (not a grey day at all)

felt left out

Today and tonight I saw a group of friends go through a marriage. They were men united by friendship....I have never been part of such a group.

call yesterday

international have reviewed my cv and wiuld like to interview me.

Big g and ian r may or may not allow this to happen.

Got dome advice from mark s. He says the ginancial benefits are not substantial and wife will find it very hard to find work (given the vast pool of cheap labour).

Not sure how a move to dubai would fit in with mba.

time and organisation

Throughout entire career (academic and professional) this has always been the key strength.

Being well organised and aware of what is required....this buys time for dealing with the unexpected.

afternoon poo

1. Really looking forward to weekend

2. Have no money at all

3. Still feel goid about sorting man room yesterday

4. Have got a few good jobs off the list today

5. Should have doinked h last night

'monday' feeling

Left work not feeling too great. Sense of achievement was pretty low but I have managed to use all the shit negative energy and got the man room sorted!
