a nice end to my week...

so imagine my surprise when i leave the first day of my seminar (which has been WAY better than i expected) and find a voicemail on my phone from a potential client...met with him a couple of weeks ago - after an informal meeting he asked me to send him a proposal - did that, didn't hear anything back and started to think that maybe he'd gone cold on the idea....

well no! turns out he'd been travelling and wanted his team to provide some feedback on my proposal and he said yes! i'm absolutely thrilled - and i am thrilled about all the work i get to do, but this is kinda different! different in that it's a good piece of work (all my work is really, coz i don't say yes unless i want to do it), he's a nice guy who's in a senior role in a big industry and is well regarded, and the money is great....oh and the best part is that this work didn't come through a broker - i did it all by my very own self (to quote my little niece)!!!

well pleased with self so decided to celebrate and have ordered an upgrade from the Foxtel IQ box to Foxtel IQ2 box which means I get the HD channels in HD, and instead of being able to record just one show and watch another one simultaneously, i can record 2 shows and watch another, and i can store about twice as much recorded stuff on it....

soooo even though today was tinged by a wee bit of sadness, the day was good and my week ended well....

it's all starting to come together :-)
