I arrived home to a comical moment from CJ. Hunger lost out to exhaustion.

I normally steer away from talking about work on here.

I have a firm view on this; far to many people do far to many stupid things online and cost themselves future jobs.

But sometimes there is an exception, like today.

It’s been a stressful few months at work with changes underway.

It’s fair to say that (i.e. based on the facts on paper) some things have worked out well for our team but some big ticket items haven’t, notably a lack of formal development opportunities for some key members.

My manager has put so much effort into making sure the team get development and support, while also dealing with his own challenges. It’s been really inspiring to work for someone who values their people so much and so unconditionally.

But this has taken it’s toll, my manager has been looking drained.

That was until this morning.

We had my first real catchup in a couple of weeks (since things were announced) and he seemed to have his energy and drive back for the first time in a while.

We fed of each others energy and both came away with a spark of passion.

I’m feeling on the up again.
