Yep, it's happened again. I start off the year well - killing it in terms of blog post goals in Jan and Feb, only to fall in a heap in Mar when the pressure hits with budgets etc. And hit it farking has in a big way. Not as much due to budgets - DH is helping a lot with easing that process this year - it's more due to the new NSW part of the business causing me a WHOLE lot of stress, due to people not doing what they should be, and just not having enough of the buggers to begin with. Plus, as I have mentioned before, my job up north feels like another bloody job. When I am here in the old lands, I have enough to do to keep me busy. Going up there feels like I have to catch up on lost time each visit, and then things down here get neglected. When the boss first mentioned this purchase, it was all about a GM up there. That soon changed and now I have two full states to manage, with very few in my team who can handle a senior management position at this point, regardless of their skills and experience in quarrying.
So I am struggling a bit right now.
Ok, you could say that the ability to churn out blog posts when you're a GM and a fulltime dad and hubby is a real first-world problem. And you'd be right. But this project is one of my key life goals - to leave behind my story so that my children have it when I am no longer around. So it is important for me to keep going with it, to overcome the shitty reasons that I find it hard to write when others are around, and to regain some momentum on my associated projects, mainly being my all-time Top 40 songs and properly cataloguing my photos.
Anyway, so this is a small post, one to get runs on the April board, and two, to try and gather my thoughts enough to regain the initiative. Let's do it this month - Four for April and two to catch-up on March to get back on track. One down....
