Connect

Today's word is "connect".  I went to Wellington today on what was today the hospital train.  That's the 10.40am train.  Well, it was supposed to be the 10.40 train but it ended up being the 11.15 train due to what Tranzrail call "operational issues".  So, time wise the opportunity cost time wise of saving on the reduced train fare didn't really maximise out.  I call it the hospital train, because it seemed like every passenger on my carriage was discussing their imminent health appointment at Wellington hospital.

I had planned to fit in a couple of hours at Extreme LM but the delayed train messed with my timetable for the day.  Instead I went to the Central library (note I prefer the library in the early morning as it is quieter rather than pm!) and then I went to an appointment with a recruitment agency that a lot of people have been saying I should connect with.  In retrospect I should have gone there sooner, but maybe today was the right time to connect.

I liked the ladies I met at the recruitment agency.  We talked for 2 hours about the journey - in a career sense!  It was sort of like therapy!  Not that I need therapy!! Anyway, I feel fairly positive that I reckon my values and the agency values align and so that augers well for us potentially working together.

I was talking about my desire to have continuity in work.  The managing director said it's better to frame it in terms of staying connected with people and the workplace.  I agree.  And that's what I need to do with my bike -reconnect and connect.

I'll be connecting with my bike tomorrow, and posting a timetable for the week that will be goal for training.  Back to the day by day approach to training, but seeing in the context of connecting week by week to the bigger goal of Taupo.
