la la la la life goes on....

Hi Everyone!

Long time - no write.

Let me start by saying I am one of those people who likes change. I think change is good for us because when it is not present, we tend to become complacent. Mind you, too much change at once can be a little daunting, but this is how we test our mettle.

After almost 25 years working for the same company, I am back working in radio in the type of situation I like - a family-owned business.

This is a good change for me. New hours, new colleagues (although I do miss working with some of the old ones), new attitudes and new ideas. I'm working with a team that is young, creative, open to new ideas and not afraid to express themselves. This is my kind of team.

I have to admit I'm at the bottom end of the learning curve when it comes to the technology, but I am ready, willing and able to learn it all.

The one thing I think is a constant in almost any workplace, is the personality types. There always seems to be the 'go-to' person who can help you with almost any problem. There's the 'go-to Tim Hortons person' who is always happy to grab refreshments if you're buying. There's the 'shy one' who won't normally speak to you first, but once you engage them, you find them to be fascinating. There's the 'tattle-tale'....need I say more? There's the 'drama queen/king' who always has to be the centre of attention (no, it's not me :P). It's fun getting to know each and every one of these personalities.

I believe a change is as good as a rest and I feel invigorated!

So, why not make a change today? Take a different route to or from work, eat something different for breakfast, change your hair colour. Don't be complacent! Be adventurous! Be willing to change.
