Welcome to the mad house K!

Yes, welcome to the world where someone asks you, ‘so where are you on Wednesday?’ - and you genuinely can’t say without checking.

Where you have the third meeting of the day (typically before lunch) and half of the people in the room were in the first 2 meetings. You look at each other and say ‘so what is this one about?’ That one always results in some quality looks from the other half of the room (vendors and ‘internal clients’ etc) - ’the look’ screaming; ‘do these people know WTF they are doing?’

My personal favourite is immediately after a complete U turn, calmly stating, ’I realise this sounds like the polar opposite of what we initially proposed - but you must understand we had this in mind all along - we are simply couching it in different terms’.

It is week 2 with Kathryn on board at work and I think she is starting to get an appreciation for the ‘nature of the current environment’ - and I get the feeling she is enjoying it. The surprising thing is that for a control freak, routine worshipping, fully paid up member of the obsessive/compulsive club - I love it too.

Fun times.

Kathryn, if I may be so forward as to offer one piece of advice. Get to know the madness, be at one with the madness, embrace the madness. And above all - vizbooks tai havanell.

Very tired…
