and lot's more work....
well, strictly speaking, work isn't all there's been, since last i let my eloquent rant's flow through my keyboard, and way out into that awe-inspiring web of woe....
but work, and what it's contained is probably close to being the most important thing that's happened. but more on that later.i've been practicing basketball, in what little time i could free for that sort of frivolous activity, i've been arranging for my next trip to london, to visit my friends over there, and watch a simple game of champions league football. in this case, following up on last years arsenal v. dynamo kiev dissapointment, i'm off for the clash at wembley between arsenal, the great, and barcelona.
that's happening in combination with a 1 week trip to london, mixed business, and pleasure, and in this case pleasure is guaranteed, as i'm bringing signe with me across the waters.anyway, i deserve a vacation, because the stunts i pulled at work last week, and the results i got, impressed even myself, and i don't impress that easy. we held a company wide conference on wap, the wireless application protocol. somehow, through equal parts of mystic bickering and actual interest, i've ended in a position where someone or the other seems to consider me a prime expert on all things related to mobile internet convergence.
we had this conference, last thursday and friday, with approx. 25 delegates from all icon offices, except kuala lumpur (wonder why). they came expecting my colleague and me to dish up with an interesting program and guide a fruitful discussion to it's conclusion.that, in my humble opinion, is damn close to what they got, except for the clleague part. he was ill, and i was basically on my own for the 2 days. arranging, presenting and keeping charge of time schedules, external presenters, etc.
i did the job, hopefully mixing well, between my own presentations, taking charge of discussions, and letting externals get their say on matters.in short; i feel pretty damn good about it, and it's boosted my s-c in work matters, just a tiny bit higher yet.
again, things are good, i am still moving within the company, still smiling over the prospect of going to work (most mornings), still happy in my private life, although admittedly, something has to suffer when work demands that kind of commitment.i could be better to myself, when comes to training, losing the weight i promised myself, keeping my knee in motion, and taking care of my relationship. but at least i am aware of this fact, and i am working to improve the balance, without risking those things at work, that make it so damn exciting.........
talk to you soonish :-)
