Today is dragging. I cannot get motivated. Could be something to do with the sun shining outside the window, or with the thought that this time next week I will be on my 2 day trip with R, or it may just be I need some new challenges.
Thing is, I have got some. A new assignment, involving staff in several countries, but my initial enthusiasm has waned a little with that. I think this is normal, and this feeling will pass, but it is tedious until it does.
My boss, who is based about 4 hours away, plans to visit me next month. He wants to talk about communication and expectations, and he wants to discuss my goals - where do I want to be in 2 months, and in 2 years time?
I know what he wants me to say. He wants me up where he is, but that is too far away from family and lover for me.
I have never been good at personal goal setting. I tend to go with the flow, and so far it has served me pretty well. But now, it looks like I may have to plan a bit more. There is a form I have to complete, with strengths and training needs, and goals! Maybe I will make a start this afternoon, maybe it will help me focus.
I have bought a lottery ticket as well, in the hope that fortune favours me, and I can jack in the day job. I do have dreams, that with a lottery win could become goals
