Whirlwind Week!

Hey there blog,

Remember me? We used to talk… more often than at the moment.

I just wanted to check in with you and let you know that it will be ok, and that just because I’ve been busy, doesn’t mean I don’t care or that I haven’t been thinking about you.

So last week was hectic. I wrapped up from my last job in less than 8 days since the time in which I resigned. 8 days isn’t a long time to get things sorted or even pack up my office. I had so many books and folders I’m getting a courier to bring it all in to my new office.

Thursday night was another successful HR Club Sydney Event. I want to thank James and the Red Balloon Crew. They did an awesome job. Over 30 people came and enjoyed a sneaky beverage (thanks for supporting The Burdekin) and it was a really lovely night- thank you to everyone who came along.

My partner also finished up his job on Friday so the celebrations went quite late into the night.

Monday I started at my new job and wow is it overwhelming, but in a good way. I’m already forming plans in my head about what is possible here, whilst trying to learn the business and the people that make it happen.

Tuesday night I was on the panel for a Next Gen event (run by The Next Step), which featured discussions on employee engagement, the new legislation and the use of social media. This took a bit of preparation (albeit last minute on my behalf) but it was a great night and I got to meet some very cool, high potential HR people. Also thanks to The Next Step for your support and also for my beautiful flowers!

So here I am Day four into my new job and hoping you’ll forgive me for neglecting you.

I hope you have had an awesome week and if not, there’s another public holiday coming up soon!

Jess
