24th December 1983

I'm 31 and I know the score as regards Santa Claus, but I feel like a 6 year old on Christmas Eve. Today is the first day on my new project. The next 3 years (hopefully) start here. I'm excited and apprehensive about meeting the new client - the initial "client bios" look very good - a bright bunch of cookies indeed. The initial documentation I have received on the project also looks pretty good - there seems to be a clear roadmap and lots of stuff to do. I'm a kid in a candy shop.

I'm keen to understand what's going on as soon as I can because I want to get my team in place before I head off for holiday on the 7th August. My little black book was out over the weekend and the initial response has been good. Remarkably a number of the guys I want are available or coming available over the next few weeks. I feel like the Real Madrid chairman for the minute! I think what I'm really excited about is knowing that I am going to be happy going into work each morning to see a bunch of guys I really like working with. It will be an out of town project for everyone so I think we should have a really good atmosphere too. Despite "Gloucester" not normally inspiring any real degree of excitement in the vast majority of people, I've got my fingers crossed.
