Lost in the layers...

Been a strange week, all round.

I’ve been trying to put together a bit of a presentation for my Area Manager, because it’s been hinted to me that I may be on the shortlist for the new position, and that they’ll expect me to turn up to interview with a presentation of my plans and ideas. But I’ve also heard it whispered on a different grapevine that they decided months ago who the new ‘District Managing Officer’ (or whatever) would be and they’re just going through the motions of advertising and recruitment so they don’t face a future HR complaint. So, as usual in life, I’m caught between two possible futures, two possible scenarios and two separate mindsets and trying to find a way to prepare for all eventualities and to satisfy both sides of my psyche.

That Buddhist book I read had the right idea – switch off all thought, ignore all speculation and concentrate on the immediate.

If only it was as easy to do as it is to read.
