A big sigh of relief… the weekend is here and I can sleep in guilt free tomorrow!

Thank goodness. I am ready for it…

Oh Sooooo ready…

To continue on the out of control theme I began yesterday, I had a meeting today with one of our heads of dept
who have big dreams for their section of the website. I was a bit fearful stepping through the boardroom door… Was one of those Pandora’s meetings where anything could get piled up on my desk and another in tray filled to go with the other 10 I have…

But it was actually ok.

My biggest frustration has been that there is a skills gap I have which is frustrating my plans for the site and which holds up any progress because I have to save all the things I need to do for the boss to do.. and getting his time to do it is challenging (euphemism) so I came out of the meeting feeling like I am pushing a big heavy smelly wheelbarrow up hill one that at any moment is all going to crash on me!

Lovely

So, I stomped around for a while when I got out of the meeting… shed a tear or two when I had a chat to God about it…then I went and saw my boss and told him how frustrated I am and he is going to spend Monday with me
showing me the ropes of .asp.

Hah.

I may not be a supreme potentate yet… but you just wait…next week is just around the corner.

I was woken up by my mobile ringing up a storm this morning… not normal.

Time Check? 8.45…

Hmmm… not exactly enough time to shower, dress, makeup, pick up Shaz, stop at Michels for coffee and Bakers Delight for Cheesymite scrolls for breakfast and get to work on time.

So I was reaaaally late….

The rest of the day wasn’t much better – I am all stressed out with getting my business off the ground so I suggested my sister take a leap into venture capital… (She was silent on the matter…)

In a bid to getting all the things I need out of my head and into some kind of order I wrote all the stuff I want down … it was quite helpful, and I think I can get all the stuff I would need at a practical level for around two grand… pretty simple really…

If you have that sort of cash…

Which I don’t… Might be time to call Dad… (tragic aren’t I?)

Happily Flick is a graphic artist who would be helpful in pulling the image for my website out of my head while I do all the techo stuff to make it work … Coldie could do all the print stuff and Jem is the flash guru… I have all the bods with all the skills and not enough dollars to say to them… let’s get on with it… but… I do have a logo… that’s a good start eh?

So, because my head was abuzz with all the drama of business and being late, and my life being all out of control I had a very unsettled day.

It’s a recurring theme actually… out of control=stressed deeleea …

Sigh…

There it is, my dirty little secret… I’m a control freak…

Oh well… it’s all choice bro… (Kiwi speak for “it’s all good” our local catchphrase … practicing for Aprill)

1. I am listening to and watching Harry Connick Jr on the Only You DVD … hmmm nothing like reliving great memories… and cheaper than buying a programme at the event …
2. I realise from Red’s comments that I didn’t clearly explain the conversation with Pia. She was referring to the week I kind of didn’t post at all rather than the content of interest in the posts in question … I noticed once I had actually posted the entry that I had posted every day this week!!!! I think I’m in a time warp… anyway… fished me a good compliment though! Thanks Red!
3. Bliss is visiting Sydney for a week and hung out this evening for dinner… felt like she never left!!! She has marvellous news too!!! She has bought a house! A definite advertisement for moving up north.

   The process elicited a lot of stepping outside her comfort zone and the acquisition of research and negotiation skills she hadn’t ever really wanted to acquire… but the results speak for themselves!!! Bliss has a mortgage and a 3 bedroom house on 550sqm of land. Happily, I get go go up and install her tv/video/dvd and soundsystem… can’t wait…

4. I had a business meeting with Clown today. He has some writing work he needs done for some in-house publications, he does the design for. He has offered it to me and I am looking forward to getting my teeth into something a bit new!! (Not to mention, something that pays better than babysitting…)
5. I went to a babyshower tonight … you may read about my feelings on baby showers here and be concerned for the mum2b for having invited me… but this was my kind of baby shower… just a low key, coffee and dessert type of baby shower (at a restauraunt no less)with no silly games… Just an excuse for the girls to get together! Now the count down is really on for Miss Shelf who has 3 weeks to go before her first son arrives to join his two older sisters…
8. Lights out…

It was pointed out to me yesterday that I have been rather slack at posting lately, Pia, one of my workmates apparently checks in on me as soon as she has cleared her in box in the morning and commented that too often my blog has been found wanting.

Sigh.

Really haven’t had that much to say… been getting too bogged down in websites and overly dramatic relationships with friends…

So, if you too have been finding my blog wanting… Forgive me… please accept this humble apology as a gesture of good faith that I will try to be better …

Really…
