Today in our strategy session at work, about how to work as a team from shared values, the facilitator stressed how one has to commit to one's goals - how only by committing to them can one set in motion all sorts of synchronous events and energies that can help you achieve your goals.
He had a very cool quote about it, too, but I can't remember who from. Anyway, I've decided to actively pursue a new job. I really don't handle the commuting at all well. And while the strategy and planning sessions are encouraging, I don't hold out a hell of a lot of faith in our research group leader actually being able to usefully implement any of our grand ideas.
So, today I've emailed my updated CV to the Midrand branch of my old Cape Town employer, and I'm taking a copy to my doctor tomorrow. His son-in-law runs some high-tech company in Jo'burg, and my doctor (who is a really really nice man) has told him to look at my CV. Hey, who knows...?
I've also decided to do something about the dreaded "orange-peel thigh"syndrome. Recently, while watching a home video of myself swimming with my kid, I noticed that the thighs left a bit to be desired. So ....... ta-dah!..... I've bought a swimming skirt! It's fantastic - a virulent pink nylon skirt that is so hideously garish to behold that no-one will want to look at it for long enough to notice that I even have thighs under there - let alone what shape they are.
Roll on chocolate brownies.....

I love that solution! You have always amazed me with your clear thinking, cutting right to the source of the problem.
I too am working on my CV. Over the last few moths I will ahve applied for four permanat posts. Maths, ADP stats, CHED and ADP engineering. I am pinning my hopes on the Engineering one: much more likely than maths and not as ick as stats.
I can't type...
I love that! Do you think I could get it in virulent pink?
