ohh how a sickness motivates

Hello…black hole. Anyone there? Well, I certainly haven’t been.

A virus can force someone into misery, face-burried-in-pillow, this-is-the-end kind of misery. Not this one. I am ill to the point where I am exhausted by movement, but I feel completely awake. There isn’t pain, but constant discomfort. Clogged nose, terrible cough and sneeze…but my brain and body are wide awake, brimming with energy.

Which brings me to you. I noticed that my pledge to this blog has epically failed. It has GOT to be more than a year now since I’ve updated you. And that’s really a shame. So much has happened! I have a new job- Head of Client Services and Communications Manager and one of the agencies I was teaching english for. I am the only full-time employee, and it’s about five years old. So I guess you could classify us as a start-up.

I have to say it’s only been three months, but man is it thrilling! I learn so much everyday from B (my boss). She is such a mind! She founded this company in 2010 on business English training in the niche sector of board members and managing directors and VIPS. Now, since we have build relationships with them over the years, we have branched out to more communications work. Internal. External. Corporate Wording. and more…

And I’ve got to say, it’s been a crazy time. Learning, doing, executing, brainstorming.. I’ve never been so grateful in my life to have an opportunity like this. I also find, that the busier I am, the more productive I am. Pumping out work left and right. Dead air leaves me lazy, not motivated. So hence, a nice update here. Thanks for sticking around, all of you, none of you, or one of you 😉
