12th April - Day 1 (D Day)
Land Half an hour early (Take Note BA) and sail through Customs, (had to declare my Nestle Cappuccino 10 Pack – certified safe by the Food Police..!) and meet my new boss, Richard. Then it’s off to my Sydney CBD (Central Business District) apartment which is perfect.
I get shown around and introduced to my laundry room, next to my kitchen. I ask how to use the iron and just get laughed at. Next I, shower, change and head off to Head Office, (Pymble), to meet everybody, (MD, Chairman etc), and make an impression ….not – I am half asleep!
Tired but can’t wait to get stuck in to my new responsibilities.
Meet Robyn, Richards PA, who is very helpful and friendly.
Richard tells me more about his responsibilities – Frank Industrial Asset Management, Mark – Soft Asset Management.
Call Fran at 12 o’clock, problem is that I mess up and its only 3am in the morning – worse still I then text her a number, phone next to bed and wake her again – Muppet.
Leave at 3pm, taxi back to city, (fall asleep in cab and awake at destination and argue about $45 charge thinking that the charge is in GBP..! Sort out the fare and hit the moving in stage.
Seems strange trying to more in with out Fran and the boys – in fact I go round in circles, not knowing where to start, jet lagged and quite all over the place.
Still don’t like the look of the laundry room, and in particular the IRON..!
Move some bits around, love the pod docking speakers and hit the pillow – totally useless, don’t sleep until 5 and get up at 7…!
