A new chapter, a new experience

And so my voyage to 'adulthood' continues with an impromptu assignment to Manila. You can follow my exploration of this unexpected destination here. I thank my Geneva pals for taking care of my plants and empty mini studio in the meantime. I promise to not spend everything in food and bring some souvenirs.

New pressures

Who has never dreamed of being a head of something?

I wanted to be the boss and have always felt I liked to boss people around. Be careful of what you wish for is a saying I truly understand now. With a  new assignment in the works it finally dawned on me I will be an acting global head (without the salary)  of a team I still need to get acquainted with on paper (print that departmental diagram!).

Losing sleep, I am trying to find out what in my experience of micro-managing 3-4 colleagues would help me in my new task....the other half of the brain is trying to think of ways to take holidays while in a foreign country far far away in southeast Asia.
