September 25 The Air Up ThereI think it's safe to say that I'm OFFICIALLY back to work.
 So happy I'm re-living my childhood..like I do everyday anyway..
It's actually been almost a month since I went back to work, and I can still remember my first day, cos I wasn't doing shit. But turns out that was like the only day I actually got to sit down and do NOTHING (and get paid for it). From day two everything seems to move at 100km/h (but that's like slow for Justin, rite?) and I'm just trying my best to keep pace. It has been a smooth transaction though...everybody's been pretty patient with me while I learn the ropes of event management. But I can honestly say that I have been a pretty quick learner.
I'm actually still recovering from the past week where we had three events back-to-back, with me having the sole responsibility over one of 'em. It's been tough and tiring as hell, but I guess it was a pretty good way for me to learn as well. I think I didn't even see my family during that whole week (which isn't ALL bad) despite living in the same house. It was that crazy.
I've also came to a realisation that I've gotta get over this habit of NOT remembering people's names. I'm in this industry where I can meet up to 100 different people in a month, and I think it's not a good idea for me not to know at least ONE of their names.
I don't think it's a case of short term memory lost. I think it's just a plain case of laziness, not taking the trouble to actually LISTEN to their names when they say it. It's bad to a point that I can forget a person's name less than 5 minutes I've been introduced. It's not good either when someone comes up to me and go like "Hey Nigel, how have you been?" and all I can go is "Hey....erm...MAN!! How are you?".
Anyways, you should be able to notice that I am starting to enjoy life once again since I've started working. I don't think that I'm a workaholic, but I just enjoy work. Or at least I make the best of it. I feel tired, but then again I know that I've accomplished something today...it's a feeling I missed when I was bumming around during those two weeks. September 05 Birthday ShoutoutSince for some reason you ain't online for the past few weeks, I guess this is the only way I can say HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHILLIPO!! It's been a long time since I've seen you but you still like a brother to me.
And I'll never forget THAT birthday party we threw for you, and I bet you won't as well.
I wish I could be there to celebrate with all you guys back there in the UK. Have a fantastic birthday, take care and God bless.
Peace. |
