Another one of the things I have learnt is that my favourite letter is "z". I think that this may explain one of the reasons why I spend so much time in Biarritz in France, and also my inexplicable liking of the Basque language despite not being able to utter a single word of it. I am also looking forward to getting a lot of Z's over the next few nights now that this RFP has finished, although 5 month old Maxime seems to have other ideas at the minute.
For those of you who are regular followers of the blog, you will have realised that the RFP I have been working on has been one of the worst professional experiences that I have had during my 9 years in Accenture. Thankfully one of the other key things I have learnt during all that time is that the company constantly throws up lots of new opportunities, and that your current status quo is always only ever temporary. Even tonight I've had a request for a 3 month project in South Africa and another email asking me to be sure to go to a conference in Berlin. It's always important to remember the big picture when you're up the proverbial creek without a paddle. I suspect that is probably the real reason why I personally haven't left yet.
Linked to that is a fond farewell to two old friends and key guys in the group who will leave tomorrow. Shane Groeger and Jon Crenner will enjoy their last day with us tomorrow after over 9 years in Andersen Consulting / Accenture. I for one am terribly sorry to see them go - the company will be all the poorer without their skills and charisma. Good luck lads.
