Jacobuzz does blogging!

Hi Blogger Readers! It's been a little while since I last wrote anything so I thought I would collate some thoughts. It's been a tough week this week but hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel! On Tuesday morning I decided that I would take 'Milo' our foster dog for a walk at stupid o'clock in the morning. It is always refreshing to go for a walk first thing on the morning, however half an hour in I heard a buzz near my head. This buzz then turned into a vibration in my hair just behind my ear and then, yep you've guessed it resulted in a sharp sting. So as you can imagine my hand went up to admonish the small vicious creature which resulted in a further buzz, vibration and sting just next to the last sting. Then as you can imagine I ran like hell to get away from what clearly must have been a swarm, screaming like a banshee only to be rewarded for my 200 metre sprint with a sting to the back of my ribs. I then bravely started to rip my clothes off in an attempted to get shot of the little bugger. Thankfully this shedding of clothes was abruptly halted when I found the violent wasp stinging my forearm at which point he had clearly had enough and fell off my arm exhausted! Meanwhile Milo, my loyal foster dog, was leaping like a gazelle through the stubble on the freshly harvested field on a promise with another golden retriever (or Labrador, I never know the difference). The day progressed with a further 'highlight' being the removal of one of my team from my company. This was the first time I have ever had to do this, it was not pleasant despite how amicable the process was with the person involved. I do sincerely wish him all the best for the future. To add to this I messed up making a bowl of Oats so simple this morning! I guess I failed that intelligence test! So what's been good about this week? I think that despite how busy work is, working at the limit of my comfort zone with endless meetings designed to prevent me from working at the limit of my comfort zone, I feel that I am on a healthy learning curve again, I feel that my staff's jobs will become more interesting and engaging and I appreciate every one of them. I came away from a positive meeting yesterday with the two working women in my life thankful for their support and abilities with great expectations of what we will be able to achieve together in the near future. How lucky I am to be supported by a great team! So lots of stress this week, mixed with poignant positives. Maybe this is progress?
