5 weeks to go
Time continues to fly by and it is now only 5 weeks until Hope FM starts to broadcast full-time on 90.1FM. One by one we are getting things done on our ‘to do’ list, although sometimes progress seems very slow.
Last Thursday was a particularly bad day for me work wise. Have you ever had one of those days that everything you try to do takes five times as long as it should? Well that is what happened to me last Thursday. It started with sent emails continually bouncing back, continued with printers getting continually jammed then running out of ink and ended with me breaking the photocopier when trying to sort out yet another paper jam. Jobs that should have taken 30 minutes were taking a couple of hours.
In fact after the photocopy incident I decided that I would not take the lift back down to our office, as the lift was bound to get stuck between floors, so I walked down the four flights of stairs instead. Have you every had an ‘everything turns into a disaster day’? Why not share your experiences with us?

Ha! The irony of ‘life of hope’ wanting us to share disaster days! Personally I want to forget mine! I choose to think that these days are telling me to take time out!
As a project manager, it could seem like everyday was a disaster day; as there were many in the team and each could have a bad day! Disasters would easily happen when we were all desperate for work to be completed and our expectations were dashed, reality set in and everything looked bad. There was definitely a place for taking the team for a coffee to relax and then see what our action plan was!
Good luck; approaching the deadline of any project is tough, worrying, yet exciting and the best for a team! Keep everyone visualising the excitement of completion and keep up spirits!

Perhaps I should say visualising the benefits, rather than excitement, of completion then everyone can interpret their own benefits!
