Not really June
Jun. 9th, 2012 02:00 amMy trip was great. Had a lovely relaxing time in BC with the lovely sg1jb. We stayed on the Sunshine Coast for a couple of nights which was just fabulous - great scenery, totally peaceful, good weather, good company. It was perfect.
All to soon I had to fly off to Redding, but the conference was awesome. Lots of great stuff to think about and implement in my job. It is quite something to be in a room of like minded people who, being admin folk, are all pretty multi-talented. Apparently admin is one of those jobs that attracts people who are jack-of-all-trade folks. Anyway, so it was a great four days, and i feel I learnt a lot of useful stuff. Looking forward to putting it into practice because my job gets bigger every week and I also have some new assistants and volunteers working with me, so busy, busy. I really need to focus on team building over the next few months so everyone feels a part of what is going on and gets to use their skills and to grow.
In other news - creative writing course is finished. The lovely sg1jb helpled me polish my final assignment. The next course starts in October so I have a break over the summer. Did I say summer? What is with this crazy weather? Sooooo cold. I had a heater on in the office today. Now I'm up nursing a sore throat with lemsip. Please can we have some warmth and sunshine? One of my colleagues is on holiday for a fortnight - I feel for her because super crappy weather is no fun.
This weekend is busy - off to two parties tomorrow, staying overnight in my home town (hoping for dry weather Sunday morning so we can walk on the beach). The next three weeks will be manic and then it is off to the Philippines.
Never a dull moment!
