On a whole other note, I was doing some thinking about the forthcoming trip earlier today. I had decided that various people were right and I didn’t actually have anything to worry about. Given who I work for any and all logistics are minor problems and will be sorted out for me and you know that still stands. Information won’t come fast enough for me, but it will come in its own time.<\/p>\n
So I was thinking about it from another point of view, my point of view. (For the benefit of anyone from work reading this I’d like to note the word personal<\/b> at this stage.) Sure there is going to be a lot of work involved and I am looking forward to that (I really am) although I am of course worried about it BUT there is also going to be a hell of a lot of fun involved. After all, the guy I’m going with is a good friend and we get a nice apartment and the chance (at weekends) to see some sights. BUT I have some more plans aswell.<\/p>\n
Other than all of that, this is a pretty good opportunity for me to work on some other stuff. We are going over there partly to develop a “professional relationship” and building relationships is something I have never considered myself to be any good at. I don’t really have a choice in this case (not that that is a bad thing), it is something I have to do. So lets see that as an opportunity. It certainly can’t hurt right? I have a couple of other things that I want to try and work on…about me other than all the work stuff that comes with it, and you know what? It is a pretty good chance to do it…so what the hell, why not? Lets make the best of it all, hopefully everything that has to be done with contribute to my “personal development” (read: growing up) in a big way. I honestly don’t see how it can’t. Sometimes I wonder what I would be like if I had never moved to London and not had to deal with moving out and moving country et al. couple of years ago. I wonder if I can use this just as much?<\/p>\n
To mangle a lyric from the MP3 I’m listening to a the moment Free<\/i> by The LightHouse Family
\n“I wish I knew how….”….. Hold the phone right there. I just had a thought that sums it up all so much better. Its from one of the earliest songs I remember liking and indeed is still a favourite
\nMan in the Mirror<\/i>
\nMichael Jackson <\/p>\n
I’m gonna make a change, for once in my life
\nIt’s gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
\nGonna make it right…
\n…
\n…
\nI’m starting with the man in the mirror
\nI’m asking him to change his ways
\nAnd no message could have been any clearer
\nIf you wanna make the world a better place
\n(If you wanna make the world a better place)
\nTake a look at yourself, and then make a change
\n(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
\n(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)<\/p>\n
And its worth noting at this point you can stop laughing now. You were young and idealistic once ya know. And one day I’m going to do a Moulin Rouge and blog entirely in lyrics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
