Nearly there

Good morning,

Mixed news over the last few days. My original contract with Tesco ends on 23/3, I have been asked to pick up a retention piece of work, however its been done in a way that has asked me to prove my value for a week before a formal offer is made. A little bit dissappointing based on the fact that I have been proving my value for 4 months. I have another potential piece of work with a previous client so perhaps things aren't so pressured.

My company website is a year old this week and today I passed through 5000 hits. Take a look www.callen-cm.co.uk. I am very pleased with this.

The big week of racing approaches with Cheltenham starting next week. I will be taking a couple of days out to watch. My tips to follow

Cheers

Busy busy busy

Good morning!

It been ages since I wrote on here. I have been so busy. It seems ironic, considering that this blog was born out of the frustration of having no work.

My project at Tesco Telecoms is growing rapidly, however my role is now handing over to a permanent team member. We have talked about other opportunites so lets see what happens.

The last two months have been crazy with snow, travel, new puppy chaos everywhere. That said we managed a loood a lovely holiday in Feb for my wifes 4oth (she wont thank me for mentioning that). I have spent most of the time in Liverpool and that has been good, although cooked breakfast, large dinners and no gym have destroyed the adonis like physique.

On the up side the golf restarts tomorrow with a celebration round for my good friend Kevin Dyers 50th (he wont thank me either). I am looking forward to that and hope the back will hold up. Then its out for dinner with my wife to celebrate my own birthday. I dont care, so I'll tell you, I'm 41.

So with a nervous anticpation of whether my contract is to be extended, i'll sign off till next time
