The Things You Are HAPPY About Thread.

Organised my first staff Christmas party last night and it went off without a hitch

Was a bag of nerves all week as I was responsible for the food, the drinks vouchers, the registration at the door, the entertainment (we had a comedian, raffle, music gameshow, lip sync battle, magician etc) the comms plan, the invoicing/budgeting and the DJ.
Was expecting something to go wrong but so far, feedback has only been positive and we had 1600 attendees so that is pretty amazing

Congrats, but...

lip sync battle

Ugh.

So this week we had our Presentation Night where we celebrate the achievements of the Cadets, do the enrollments and promotions and invite parents along too.
The OC had just started her presentation when she said there was an extra, surprise presentation... it was a Certificate of Meritorious Service from the Commandant Air Cadets, for me! Absolutely blown away.

I'm finally getting to go to Japan next month.

19 years ago I had a job offer to live & work in Osaka, 3 months before I was planning to go I met my wife - cancelled it all and ended up staying in Zambia for another 3 years. Never managed to get there and its a country which has always fascinated me

Are you holidaying or working?
How long are you going for?
Sounds like an interesting summary of the last 19 years.... Must have stories to tell!

Having worked in Jakarta and holidayed in Bali and travelled around the place, some of the customs out in the country and small towns are fascinating and captivating, I've often thought that about rural China and Japan too.
Are you heading for a City or are you going down country?

Working as always, scoping out the plan but will be in Osaka & Tokyo and possible a couple of other places too,

Japan has been on my bucket list for years, still regularly watch Abroad in Japan on Youtube, the whole culture appeals to me immensely, so jealous

Piers Morgan getting hacked.

Only his Twitter account but still, hope he is raging at the fact someone now has all his private messages stored somewhere

Looks like my brother is booking my Oz ticket. Just got to get the visa sorted and sell everything I own. It’s fucking on.
