Spirit is for c*nts - and other lessons to learn in 2007

(Above is a team motto, not ours, but at least our team sees the humour in it and wishes we thought of it first).

There's a very long list of things I'm not good at. Throwing. Catching. Basic Hand-Eye Co-ordination. Time Management. Anger Management. Dealing with Management. New Year's resolutions are also on the list. The fact that my 2006 resolutions started in February should be some kind of indication of my time management skills. I seem to spend all my time faffing around and worrying myself into a nervous wreck.

The RESTRUCTURE didn't wait for me to conquer my jetlag before demoting me. So much for being the Glory Girl (TM). (It has just occurred to me that could have bad connotations, oh well). Now I am struggling to redefine my role and what has become a wasps' nest. Lots of loud buzzing but nothing actually being produced except some painful stings. I have to watch as my colleagues try to outdo each other, fighting for the RESTRUCTOR's attention, I'd say it would be all smoke and mirrors but in local authorities it is all meetings and more meetings. The whole thing has been a blow to the confidence, but hey, where one door closes, there's alway another window you can climb out of (or into).

I guess spirit doesn't count for much, huh.
