Travelling today, arriving tonight, with the first activity kicking off over breakfast at 8am tomorrow. Apparently, we’ll be supplied with croissants, pastries and coffee, and all we have to bring along is ‘enthusiasm to learn.’
Can you sense the excitement and anticipation oozing
from every pore of my body?
I’ve packed lots of reading material and loaded
Skype on my work laptop so I can get to see my child while I’m languishing in
the Hotel Hellhole for three days solid. I imagine I’ll come back with
absolutely no new knowledge of any worth, and a backlog of work to get on with
at all 4 garages I manage.
It’s mad to think that it was this time last year I
accepted the new position. Feels hard to remember the days when I only had one
filling station and half-a-dozen employees under my command! And oh, how I yearn
for those days to return. Everyone who works ‘for’ me is delightful, but there
are days when I wish there were less of them, and therefore less problems and
less awkwardness when it comes to rota writing. Maybe it’s a task I should
delegate, but I like it as it gives me a feeling of control, and an excuse to
spend an afternoon in the office.
Right – I can’t delay it any longer. Time to hit the
good old A14.
