So I've been at my new job for a month now. It started really slowly, more because I didn't really know what to do, and am out of practice with the whole being able to do what I want thing, than because there was nothing to do. It's a 4 minute drive from my house, which is bliss, and I finish at 5pm. Yes, every day. No more waiting on other people to finish, ads to go off etc, I am literally home at 5.10pm every day.
This would be a prime opportunity to get some gym sessions under my belt, and still be on my couch eating dinner before I would normally even get home, but to be perfectly honest, the first few weeks consisted of an afternoon nap between 5 and 7pm, before dinner, rather than something energetic like gym ;-)
I had my first client presentation today - I was shitting myself. I didn't get much sleep, and as my boss Dom kindly pointed out, my hand shook the whole way through. Which is a little embarrassing. But it went amazingly well, and I am uber-confident that next week will be even better. Bring on the commission! I had to pay 55 000 dirhams rent up front last month and so am exceptionally broke. All donations welcome.
I will take some pics of the new office on Sunday to post up here.
Weekend plans rock - wakeboarding tomorrow morning, Hopfest tomorrow afternoon, Lunch on Saturday, then rugby on The Palm, then my mate Michael plays a gig in Bur Dubai Saturday night. For those of you concerned about the welfare of my liver - I haven't had a drink for 11 days, and am not planning on having one for a while... It's about time I took a break.
Later.
