Not the Single Issue

Ok, so I've been thinking about whether to write about this subject for a least a week now. And I'm pretty sure I wrote this post mentally on Sunday as I gazed wistfully out of a train window at Salzburg's craggy grey mountains and fertile green plains... a beautiful blue sky, impressive cloud formations and the odd scrap mental heap. The subject of my deliberations being, for want of a better word, single-ness.

Commitment

This week's post comes to you from Croatia. My boss had a meeting with the partner here today and I was able to come along for the ride (& some seriously good food). It's the second partner visit I've been able to be a part of and  it's a privilege to be able to join on these visits. Getting to know the organisations we work with is really helpful for me. I'm getting to know people I will be working with and the kinds of tasks I can fulfil now and in the future. Yet it's also a lot more than that.

Work for this Week (and beyond)

I'm breaking with the recent tradition of posting on Fridays and writing on a Monday, a day which I have a particular aversion to (I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one). Why do I harbour such feelings toward the first day of the working week? It takes me forever to get back into things, I'm so incredibly unproductive on Mondays and it drives me crazy. By the time I feel I am getting somewhere, the day's nearly done. And yet I'm about to write about how my biggest challenges relate to stopping and listening... interesting, huh?
