So I’ve been out in the big bad professional world for almost three decades. All of my professional life has been spent working in post sales support roles.  I started way back in 1989 with my first technical role fixing electronic test equipment down to component level, through telecom support, unix networking, wan optimisation and then into lower management. For the past 12years I’ve had various leadership roles but next month I reach a new level when I take on the position of Global VP of Support. It’s a milestone I wish Mam & Dad were around to see. It’s a proud moment for me. Hard work, and a lot of humanity, really does pay off.

The blood of the innocents rests in the hands of those who condone attacks that are based on false information. The same applies to the US/UK who justified an attack on Iraq based on false evidence about WMD. Neither justifies the other but no one should assume they are totally clear of any wrongdoing.

Another day another 5am wordle start. I’ve been on a bit of a roll recently with back to back threes. Let’s see how long that lucky streak continues. One country not having the happiest of Thursdays is Ukraine as Putin has launched his attack. That man is one dangerous motha-sucka…. Hangings too good for some people. Anyway I could rant on about it but it’s worrying to see the first war on European soil for decades once again started by Putin.

Portstewert yesterday during the most recent storm. The world is gone mad and climate change is driving irrevocable damage. Maybe yes, however when I was living next door in Portrush back in the very early nineties while I was at University this kind of scene was a regular occurrence. It’s just what happens when the seas go crazy. So are rising temperatures a sign of climate change? Perhaps. Is sea foam all over a car a sign of it… most definitely not.

Shock horror news just in. Russia is sending ‘peacekeeping’ troops into the breakaway regions of Ukraine. Vladimir Pukin is such a hero, saving all those poor little pro Russian separatists from Western aggression. And the world watches on with open mouths, inaction reigns.
It’s like a scene from The Life Of Brian. Time for everyone to get together and pen a strongly worded response. There is no leadership in the west because we have handed over all financial and energy power to rogue states like China and Russia. While the west should have been building renewable energy to reduce dependence we instead focus energy on petty internal nationalistic squabbles.

Set your mind on a goal and you will achieve it. Sounds like some self-help BS but it’s actually  some real world factual stuff. After Christmas I had piled on the weight. I spent two months focused on getting back to target and I’m there. The same concept applies to your professional and personal goals. Stick to the plan and you will get there. It might take a month or it might take three decades. The main point is to stick to the plan and you will get to where you’re aiming.
