Like a sad, tired old balloon.<\/p>\n
My normal degree of energy, vitality, engagement and indeed good humour has fled.<\/p>\n
Yesterday was not a good day and it finished in some not good style.<\/p>\n
Today is a downwards-sloping continuation of that mood.<\/p>\n
Reasons to be uncheerful? (oh God, I can\u00e2’t believe I just did that to Ian Dury!)<\/em><\/p>\n Project 1:<\/strong> I don\u00e2’t know why but I continue to be surprised (impressed, even!) at the polished ability that software companies have to tell a pack of downright, blatant lies.<\/p>\n Project 2:<\/strong> I have a mental\u00a0question-mark\u00a0about the degree of senior management buy-in for another project.<\/p>\n Project 3:<\/strong> There\u00e2’s a doubt about the commercial understanding of another area of senior management.<\/p>\n I fell asleep with these things in my head last night; they were still there this morning.<\/p>\n Walking in from the car park I felt as though I was the central character in one of those clever TV adverts – where I’m standing still in my own world of isolation and the rest of humanity is speeding around me, carrying out their productive tasks like a team of worker ants.<\/p>\n The only soundtrack that fitted my mood this morning was the haunting Gong<\/em> by Sigur Ros.<\/p>\n Isolated is the right word.<\/p>\n R has her interview today, we had a brief deskside chat; she’ll be fine, I’m confident of her ability.<\/p>\n Drinkies after work I reckon.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Like a sad, tired old balloon.
