Busy part deux

[Goodwatch]

The past month has been extremely hectic and busy for me, so much so that I had to take my foot on the throttle of on-line life. It started heading in the wrong direction for me, too much work, too many obligations and too little time to unwind. But I managed to visit a new restaurant in my neighbourhood, together with Anne, Kayleigh and her boyfriend. It is called Branco and we enjoyed it very much! Today I went home early because I didn’t feel very well, a sure sign of things going wrong.

A welcome break was the two-day safety course I took with 11 other colleagues this week. The main theme was: how to address colleagues and other personnel in case of unwanted behaviour and situations. And yes, there were the actors and video equipment and we all had to play a role. This is always the part I fear most (I’ve done this before) but it went well. It is a very strange sensation to see yourself on screen and to hear your own voice I tell you. The event was held in a hotel situated in a beautiful nature reserve and we even went on a long walk with a game warden. Boy, do these guys know a lot about nature and preservation! As a final exercise we were divided in two teams and we had to build a scaffold from materials that were provided. But we were NOT allowed to talk during the construction. That proved to be almost impossible but we succeeded.

If all goes according to plan, next week I will buy an iMac and the new AirPort extreme. 2.4 GHz. 20” iMac with 500 GB hard drive and 4 GB RAM. That ought to do it. And after that, the search for essential software starts. We’ll see.

Take care my friends.
