Holy crap! I didn't even realize that it's been more than 2 months since I last checked my blog. Let's hope my readers haven't all abondoned me by now :) . Well the good news (or bad news, depends on how you see it) is, that my fingers are starting to itch after this long period of inactivity (OK, technically that's not true, since I've been doing loads of typing at work, but I'm sure you know what I mean).

Speaking of work, it's been a madhouse lately. My June horoscope actually said that from June onwards things would become much less hectic at work. Which did come true actually, for about two weeks, but I didn't expect things to pick up so soon.

Not that I'm complaining. I see this as an indication that I'm doing a great job. My reports are traveling throughout the whole company. And it's not just limited to the Netherlands either, apparently they even found their way to Vodafone Group, who are responsible for the worldwide operations of Vodafone. Scary? Yeah, but very satisfying as well.

I'm also starting to get more and more requests from people from other departments. So now our area is not limited to Marketing, but is also expanding into Sales and Finance. We probably just need to be careful not too take too much on our hands (which I'm prone to doing), and also remember that our main responsibility is still the department we work in.

It's now almost exactly one year since I started at my current job, and I feel that I'm really starting to come into my own now. The first year has basically been one huge learning experience. Not that I've stopped learning of course. I still learn new stuff every single day, and there is still so much more I want and have to learn. It's just that I've now reached a level in which I really feel confident about myself (at least from a work related point of view).

Btw, just three more weeks before I fly to the US of A. It's my first time, so I'm really excited about it. Not to mention seeing the friends I made in Korea again after three years, which is of course the main reason I'm going. And it'll be nice simply to take a break from work. And let's hope I have enough material for my blog afterwards :)
