Well actually...

I did have another thing to blog about.

Gonna be moving to another job in a month or so. I was telling H that I feel lucky. For the challenging job that i've held, for the wonderful staff and colleagues that i've worked with, and for the chance to have had an impact on peoples' lives at so young an age.

That probably came off as platitudes but it's true. I feel a great deal of responsibility to the people that I work with, precisely because they have to deal with new bosses every 2-3 years, which is never easy. That's why I still kick myself everytime I miss something and fail to give proper guidance. It's not easy, leading or managing a team. Give too much direction, and you stifle your staff. Give too little, and you end up asking where your own value add is. That said, as I look back on the past 2.5 years in this job, I do feel like i've grown more adaptable, learnt new skills that will stand me in good stead.

That seems like a good way to end it.

Cheers.

Spamalot!!!!

Ahhh... i'm so excited! Just found out that Monty Python's Spamalot is having its WORLD premiere in Chicago the week that i'll be there. H is trying to book tickets now!

For those not in the know, Spamalot is a Broadway version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail... only one of the funniest movies ever. Vorpal Bunnies, the knights who say "ni"... the list goes on.... And this musical stars David Hyde Pierce, Tim Curry AND Hank Azaria!!!!!

Crossing my fingers that we can get tickets.... ok going to bed cos it's late, but too excited and had to blog
