"never let your past impede your future success or holiday aspirations"

Ca va?

Comme ci comme ca.

Comme ci comme ca working days are my least favourite type of day, these are the days when you discretely zone out with you headphones on and practice a bit of presenteeism - surf the net in between scheduled meetings not worrying if people notice. There is no point in starting anything significant because you don't feel like it and the calendar has construed to tangle every 30 minutes of your free time with two hour long discussions.

I know that when I begin to think about winning the lottery that it's time to take a break and put in for a day's leave. My biggest problem is that we are beginning to ramp up now as we close the year out so from now until the second week of December it's going to be a slog, a battle to get the year end into any sort of summer shape that is worth flaunting.

The business year has got its cycles and this is that cycle when your mind is on your holidays but your focus needs to be securing your performance contract so that you can afford to go on holiday - it's ironic but that realisation hardly helps when you need to get it done and you don't have the inclination.

A good friend of the family, who has staff to look after was telling me that this time of the year her husband has to push her out of the car in the morning to get going, I don't have that problem, I look out at the ocean and then realise that if I want to continue to enjoy this view that I better get going but it's hard when your heart's not in it.

So thank and the 'lord of the jungle' that it's Friday and we can soon begin our short reprieve away from the office et al.

Take care on the roads and be safe.
