I think I can...

My holidays are so close, I can almost feel the hot sand between my toes and the taste of sea on my lips; tropical cocktail in one hand and a long overdue book to be read in the other. I haven’t looked forward to a holiday this much for a long time and I plan to make the most of it. I don’t really have any plans or schedule, but just going to take it day by day and do whatever comes my way. Only 9.5 more hours to go!

The last couple of posts I’ve taking a break from the normal and posted a couple of articles I’d written for my book. Haven’t really heard anything which I can only assume means that no one reads this blog (or at least not regularly) or everyone is very busy. I’m going with the latter as it makes me feel better. Anyway, the text of the book has been laid out so now it’s a matter of going through and doing some editing, as well as photo shopping the pics, tweaking the design, and lastly finding a printer. I’m going to price out some printing companies and produce about 10 copies (if it’s feasible) just to say I’ve done it. I’m not really setting a timetable for anything, but I guess I’d like to see it done by CNY.

I’m learning lots as and I go and trying to enjoy the process without rushing through it. There are tedious parts to get there, but overall it’s a constructive way to spend my time. When I do finish, it’s going to be hard to find something to fill up the time.

Work has been busy, but there has also been a major development there. One of my coworkers was let go for various reasons; without going into major detail, the tension in the office has gone with my coworker. It’s only been a week but already there has been a major shift in workload and atmosphere. Although I don’t wish my former coworker any ill will, it has to be said that this is a change for the better.

What else, what else…actually, there really isn’t much else at the moment so I’m going to sign off and the next time I write I’ll have lots to share about my vacation. See you in two weeks
