until next week..

i’m off for another bout of ‘cultural immersion’ next week, and hope it will be uneventful and less dramatic than the previous round.

a colleague asked me the other day if i were an only child – apparently i give off ‘only child’ vibes, whatever that might be. i’m not sure how to take that comment either; is it a good thing or a bad one, and what might have triggered that question?

and really, i hope to get no more last minute stuff, and wish for a greater respect for deadlines. something that’s due on a friday can only, at the very latest, be given on the following monday. not after working hours the following thursday!

i’m not good with last minute stuff and when i rush things at the eleventh hour, i tend to make lots of mistakes – lo and behold, i spotted several; nothing too major but things that could have been avoided had there not been a bottle neck further up the production line.

i’ve also realised that i’m not cut out to be a PA. that job requires a meticulousness which i do not possess.
