[Happy] Achievements of the week..

I have been a bit busy of late so not recording things that have been making me happy.. but as I come to the end of the week it is worth me remembering that within the busy I have been awesome.*

1) I managed to high five a chap who was waving for a bus as I cycled past.  

2) I worked out a way with the technology available to live stream H as she taught a crochet class, do that we can have a close up of her hands as she demonstrates.  This close up is then displayed on the big screen so everyone can see.

3) I have successfully covered for my boss while he has been in holiday for the last fortnight.  I have finished this week with 350 unread emails, and 130 flagged for follow up.  However the sky hasn’t fallen and I have stepped up and presented myself well.  Even if I was starting to look a little tired on Friday.

Right now to try and relax a little.

* Even if I do say so myself.

[Happy] Another busy day at the office..

1) This mornings presentation went well, not my best ever, but it was ok. (It was certainly the one I had done the least prep work for.) I had to answer several questions, and I knew the answers so that was good. I stumbled over a few words, but several people commented that it was clear and interesting. Possibly being polite, but I don’t care, I will take the compliment.
I have now done three of these presentations (so I think I have now done the most by any person this year), and they are getting a little easier, but still quite daunting. However, I know full well that a much younger me would have been struggling a whole heap more. Tomorrow I will have remember to book myself up to do yet another one before the year is out.
2) Had a shoulder massage at work today, so that got me a relaxing 10 minutes away from my desk, in what was otherwise a busy day.
3) Was asked to get involved in a couple of projects that are starting up, (if I didn’t have enough to do already). However I see it as a compliment that some of the senior management feel that I can make a difference on what will be a key project for the firm.

So all in all a good day, another long one, and another not unstresful one, but still some positives that I can take away from it all.
