Delays

Instead of sitting here writing this Blog entry, I should be at the airport about to board a flight home to Melbourne. However, the lovely folks at Jetstar rang to say that there is a delay and that my 6:40pm flight is now not scheduled to leave at 10:25pm. Nice one.

So, here's how it works. I fly out at 10:25pm, land in Melbourne at 11:25pm, jump in a car and drive an hour across town to Mum & Dads. Therefore all going well I should be tucked up in bed just before 1am. Nice one.

Poor old Robbie now has to kill time between her landing in Melbourne @ 4pm (I got a later flight due to work commitments) and me @ 11:30ish. She is currently battling the Flu so I can only imagine that this has made her feel heaps better!!!!!!!

The work commitments I mentioned early were in the form of a "State Sales Conference". I had originally booked on the same flight as Robbie, but when I heard about the Conference I was forced to change my flight.

The 2 days spent at the Conference was very beneficial. Hopefully we can put our new skills to practice, and more importantly, Management will offer the support required to do so.

Managers should be leaders and motivators. Just once I would like to walk out of a Sales meeting and be looking forward to getting amongst it. Instead all we ever hear are negatives. Margin is down, sales are down. Why, why, why??

Enough said me thinks............
