First day at work in over a year and I am buzzing

I left the house @ 0730, got back @ 1830 and in between kicked glorious arse in my own unique fashion. Meetings back to back and have just finished doing contract financial profiles @ 2230. I am on my knees with exhaustion, and it feels brilliant. It is so amazing how quickly your brain grows - after a period of stagnation - to where it needs to be when you need to make instant recommendations on your areas of expertise. My Chin is up chaps! Hurrah!!!

I had no doubt you were going to kick arse and take name.

Did you eat?

Not good and I need to manage that better going forward. I was starving by the time I got home.

but they think I am genius!

I am sure before Xmas I will get an offer for full time Director. I have produced in 2 days what their current Director has not done in 9 months since she started.
