New Beginnings
Beep Beep Beep Beep….., sound familiar, yip that’s the intrusive sound of my 6:30am alarm clock! I faff about trying to find the stop button, but it’s too dark and I’m too tired to find it… found it, thank goodness! It’s been over two weeks since this unwelcome noise has woken me but today is a great day. I jump out of bed, put the kettle on and have my morning brew.
Next stop, shower, its so cosy and I’m taking advantage of all my fab Christmas smellies. “mum, hurry up” yip that’s another unwelcome sound…. This is the voice of my youngest daughter (19) who, like me is struggling with that ‘first day back’ syndrome! Time to get out and get my smoothie made - nope, its not a new year resolution, it’s just part of my routine.
I’m so excited as today I transfer over to Dundee and Angus Chamber of Commerce. This means the Coca Cola 5by20, Business and Enterprise programme will be fully supported by DACC’s amazing team, board and stakeholders– what a great start to 2018.
It’s my first day, I’m met by DACC CEO, Alison Henderson who introduced me to the team. The morning was spent getting my IT systems and Laptop set-up – a few choice words were used at times, just as well Alison and the team know me. The rest of the day was spent playing catch up, answering e-mails and sorting out my to do list. 5:30 arrived quicker than I hoped, home, walk dog, tea, telly, book, bed – in that order zzzzzz.
