*bleh* update

This issue from work has really spoilt my weekend.

Even picking the Top 2 winners from yday's Caulfield Cup did nothing to cheer me up *yes - it was a facade - that update I had on FB*

*bleh*

In Adelaide, South Australia for the week.. and it has not been one of the good weeks. Unsolved server issues, deadlines and wrong expectations set by the CM's to the clients set the tone for the rest of the implementation.

Can't wait till I get back to Mel and for some decent time out.

Why I still am doing what I am doing..

SEPTEMBER marked my 8 yrs working for this particular company. Over the past yrs, I have seen it being taken over (the term used was "merging"), moved roles, taken up responsibilities, worked with and reported to numerous team members, lived out of a suitcase and even moved to another country!

I wonder sometimes why I do what I do, why I am still here despite knowing that I am able to get a lot more (financially) if I had/have moved.

What I do know is that I find myself constantly challenged in this role, my manager gives me enough leeway to do what I do, I work flexi-times when possible and am still motivated despite the yrs and I enjoy what I do. It is not all about the money - it is also the lifestyle choices it allows one to do.

And when you do get appreciated and recognised not by your peers but by your clients - it is no wonder I am still here.

The large bouquet above was sent by a Brissy practice I have been doing this project work - and definitely put a cheer and a smile on this girl's face for the weekend.
