Ok, now I REALLY need to grow up…

Already neglecting the blog.  Bad Johnny.  Bad Bad Johnny.

So here are a few flashes from the week.

• Production Schedule is close to ready for presentation.  Doesn’t really matter though because there is no way the client can deliver the content when we need it, so, back to the drawing board.  I used to enjoy summer vacations…
• Made some great progress with the new clients.  I think I’m establishing a good rapport with them; next up, establishing trust.  The trick here is that my new clients have a history of not trusting communications and so it’s going to be a challenge.
• On a similar note, bumped into a former client at a retirement get-together for a colleague.  She’s not too happy with my replacement, which made me feel great!
• Went to the Sens game with Andrew on Thursday.  I must admit I wasn’t hopeful for a victory, despite the recent 11-game winning streak.  Couple of things struck me.  First, man the Washington Capitals are a really, really good team.  If they had a decent goalie, they’d be a shoe-in to go a long way.  Second, these are NOT your father’s Ottawa Senators (unless your dad is Eugene Melnyk <hey-oh!>) They work hard, they never give up, they back each other up.  They could go far too.  Nice to see.  And Spezza is shooting the puck!  Sens 6, Caps 5.
• So so so so very sad about Nodar Kumaritashvili the Georgian luger, killed during practise at the Games.  I think the IOC and VANOC handled the situation very well, particularly during the Opening Ceremonies (which was outstanding, despite the glitch with the cauldron).  Major respect goes to the Georgian team for taking part in the athletes parade, and major kudos to the crowd at the stadium for the standing ovation.  I cannot imagine what that must be like for them.

I’m going to be more diligent at writing for the blog this week.  We’re taking Family Day off to be with the boys so I am sure much hilarity will ensue…stay tuned.
