tgif!

i am so totally elated that friday and the week has ended.

it had been a terribly draining week although most of the time i was at my desk and not running around doing training. but it was draining for the fact that i had to do my new workyear planning and objective setting for my team. and i had to do this without any clear directions and understanding of the department strategy other than a a few words that state the outcome my team was to drive towards. thus, lots of time was thus spend on thinking through, framing and deriving my action plans while at the same time, trying to crystallise what the department's strategy is like and how to integrate my plans with the other sections...

but well, i finally did it and presented it today. and my boss didn't make much comment (although i suspect he would be using what i had crafted as part of his plans) although he wanted us to reframe and articulate things according to his format. hmmm... such crap right? if he has a format, he should give it to us first and not let us go through the days of deep-thinking etc. in this regard, i think my colleagues were smarter, they simply crafted a few sentences and proposed timeline and let him critique like no tomorrow and simply take his points so that they can rework their plan according to his wishes. then again, that is not me... so...

but yeah, i am so bloody glad the week has ended. 

i am so totally drained now.
