End of Term Report

I'm listening to 'Paris' by Friendly Fires.

'One day we're going to live in Paris' is the lyric.

And I've done it. For 3 months. And it's been beautiful. A dream realised. So thanks mum and dad!

In 3 months I've gone from stagiaire to a more lovely stagiaire. Through circumstance and other things, I have managed to find myself with my own office, a budget, and my own team! And today I was even given honoury membership of the 'operations team'. They must operate something...!

I've had meetings, coffee, phone conferences with people who are the sorts of people you just read about on websites they're so powerful, more coffee, laughs, jokes, business and much, much more! It's been a blast!

Someone walked into my office today and said: 'Dom you're always so nice. Are you ever angry? Do you ever shout at people?' In my work environment, there has never been a need to!

Yet, somehow, there is a sense of 'A-', 'could have done better.' I probably could have been more efficient some days, probably been more confident and a some more would have been done.

But fear not readers, the 4th of January shall be a momentous, monumental and memorable day for all concerned. All I shall say is that is the day I shall mobilise my troops, my teams and my clever people and the past 3 months of work shall not have been in vain!

and I shall leave you with a picture of my wonderful DSHQ (Dom's Stage Headquarters)
