Almost there

1 day left before holiday. I'm so happy at the prospect of having a break, I've already packed my bags tonight. At work it's been a very busy week. The client has been very good about rearranging meetings for when I have been in Gloucester. However as a result I have had 3.5 days of back to back meetings. I'm exhausted. I do however feel that I am within striking distance of having a clean inbox before I head off for 3 weeks. Bliss.

The other good news is that my project team continues to take shape. Earlier this afternoon I got the green light to bring in two Frenchies from the AIMS group in Paris as of next Monday. They've both worked for me in the past so I am really beginning to get the team I want....no excuses for failure then. There's still a handful of people I've got my eye on and with a bit of luck most of them will be staffed or confirmed on the project whilst I am away.

The other good news is that we have finally got the AIMS bench in the UK down to zero - I'm no longer a believer in frictional unemployment for those economists amongst you! Although in reality it's nice to have a few options up your sleeve when new requests come in, getting everyone out on a job during the summer period just before I leave for holidays....I can't really ask for much more!
