first day back

… and to be honest, i was a little anxious. never really understood why emperor TD (traianus Decius) looked so weary – as if he was shouldering heavy responsibilities … but now i’m thinking maybe it was his first day back at work and he was a little nervous about it allsee after such a long break (10 glorious days of doing nothing – when i say nothing i mean loads of fun with T ... and others such as J, G, K, M, N etc), one begins to forget about work and how to effectively do their job. i was starting to panic and questioned myself; would i remember my lines? or would they finally figure it all out

this is not dissimilar to a situation i continuously find myself in - at client meetings. one of the first seemingly simple tasks is to go around the table to introduce yourself… straightforward non? .. you just need to say your name and job title, but for some reason, I always panic… what is my name? (i know this – it shouldn’t be a problem) ... then there is the timing thing – important not to cut off the person before you, but you don’t want to leave a massive gap, then your throat starts to pack up… and I wonder; am I going to speak in the right language?

so, after all of this, i am taking a stress leave of absence (for c. 4 days) and am going to turkey to relax for a weekend
