So, today had my last work meeting. Had to go through the next job with the guy who has been chosen to run the job long term. Now, I don't choose the people who do this. I just go into each job for a couple of weeks, get them up and running and toddle off to get the next one going. On each job, I meet the guy or gal who will be running our businesses for the future. Today I met the January guy. Serious reservations. Now, normally I wouldn't really base my thoughts on first impressions but this guy really worries me. Great! Just what I need for the first job of 2007!! I can see this one dragging. I actually have quite an easy month in January. Only one job to do. Makes up for the rest of the year where I'll be happy to get a day off at all! I foresee 2007 being a career focused year. Works for me mind, stops me thinking about everything else.
After the meeting, I thought it really is time to get my christmas shopping done. Everyone who knows me gets how organised I am and for the first time in my life, I didn't get my gifts in November. I rushed about Next, Waterstones and Boots like my life was about to end. Still fairly disappointed in myself for my incredibly awful presents but thats it. Go away to my sisters tomorrow and will spend the weekend getting the brussels ready.
Funnily enough, just can't get into the Christmas mood. I honestly wish I was working like every other year. It's the first time I've spent with my family in 7 years. Never been the family person let alone a christmas person. Just got to keep smiling this year. So much has happened and is still going on...kind of waiting for it to end and the chance of a new year. I really really really hope it's a good one.
