Calm before the rain

Took an extended break from work this morning - much needed. Walked with a friend who is in the process of interviewing for a position within her organisation that she has long hunkered for. She is perfect for it and after helping her update her CV and application letter, I can't imagine anyone else being more suited. It is in the Public Sector, right at the top of the organisation.

I love the differences that our jobs entail. Mine completely driven by innovation and chasing the 'new', adapting to endless change with one eye always on cashflow (stressful) and opportunities. Hers a series of constant negotiation, managing rules and regulations and always sense checking that it has been done 'right' - each has its own constraints and freedoms. I completely admire her for what she does but over the years and many conversations it is obvious that I have taken the path that is right for me.
