Loyalty

My wife and I love entertaining. Rarely parties, but to have friends and colleagues over as couples for a meal, good food, good conversation and a few laughs.

Its been hectic at work, and because I have been working long hours over the summer period (I think I've missed summer this year) I took yesterday off. I helped out as parent helper (or volunteer child distractor) at my sons school. That's always fun.

The rest of the day was spent cleaning and cooking. I has my boss and his wife over last night. We have a great friendship as much as a good working relationship, so we thought it was time to honour them by way of a show of hospitality.

I slow roasted a leg of lamb, in rosemary and curry. My wife did the vegetables as only she can, as well as making a passionfuit pavlova. this was enjoyed with a couple of redbacks and a bottle of two peoples bay red (a label that is hawked by another colleague at work).

Throughout my career, I have known few better people to work for. Fair, just, family friendly, politically savvy. He has put together a great and loyal team, and created a fantastic and edifying work environment. There is low level of staff turnover as a consequence. My colleagues are simply the best.

A few things are on my mind, and some decison have to e made over the next few weeks. I have been asked to consider a position working for another a GM, a Christian, whom i also respect - moving from Business transformation to Strategy.

Its a funny thing, I wish the man upstairs would send me an email, telling me clearly which way to go.
