Monday morning musings

The Hallowe’en décor seems to be going down well with customers, and the charity bucket is jingling nicely to the sound of many added coins. A few people here and there are moaning about it all – e.g. “Why can’t you just be a ****ing garage?” but they’re probably the same sort of people who moan about Christmas, so **** ‘em.

It’s fair to say I’m enjoying life, really. Enjoying it to a very unexpected level. When I accepted the change of position I thought it might take me six months to settle in and work out whether I had made a mistake or not, but with just under two months gone I already feel like I know what I’m doing, and I’m pleased to be doing it. I like the variety, the new locations, the slightly-differing atmospheres and attitudes from each separate workforce. Even the added responsibility, so far, sits well. No doubt there will be days where I want to massacre all my staff and throw myself under the wheels of a tanker, but I haven’t had them yet, so who knows?
