the Boss

For the most part I am enjoying my new job. I am getting lots of positive feedback from my collegues. I feel like I am making some real progress, however there is still a lot to do.My organising things has become like an OCD thing. I really need things to be in a place. However I find that for my work and to feel like I know what I am doing, it really helps for things to be organised and by doing the organising, I gather  and update my knowlege.

I realized I had still 2 staff members to complete 121's with, so did one today, and will do the other Monday. I really mucked up the performance appraisals. I really should have read them thoroughly before submitting them as most of "my team" had not sorrectly done them. But they all know what to do so at least if they do the correct objectives its fine.

getting into gear

Well I have been busy  with Halloween and haven't done much career work recently. I had my first experience doing a One to One meeting with one of my staff as a line manager this week. I went pretty well, and have another next week, have 4 staff on my team to get through.
I have continued to have fun updated my Scifi/fantasy bog and have made it public. ( not sure anyone but my mum has seen it yet).

Need to get back on the career development track. It's so easy to just blob out when not at work, but things are still being shaken up by the economic cuts etc , so I want to stay on top of things. My original plan was to set aside time, particularly on my days off, to study essentially. So I will have to commit to this plan, maybe on my short days do at least an hour as well..rather than watching tv..

by the way I don't think the twitter widget worked...
