Another distraction threatens to derail my
progess. This truly is an unforgiving place.
Sitting out in the open has left me vulnerable and
exposed to those around me, especially a group
of colleagues who have been for an Indian the night
before. The use of an oxygen mask is something
that is standard practice high up on Everest, and
can be adapted for the office.
Due to the busy nature of agency
life I’ve fallen behind schedule,
but nothing comes before getting
the job done, not even a pee!
Sometimes things don’t always go according to plan. When
you want to give up, think of all the things you love doing and
the people that make a difference in your life. That will help
you get through a tough day!
Surviving a day in open plan was tough, but never
forget one thing, if you can take it, you can make it!
Another hostile environment conquered!
The day is getting on and I still haven’t found a moment’s peace.
Do not panic in this situation, simply block out the distraction with
a good pair of headphones. If a meeting is still distracting you,
relocate and establish a base camp to work away from anyone else.
The office environment has started to
take its toll and I’m running low on energy.
During my 110-day voyage across the
Atlantic I ran out of food 230 miles from
Antigua. I found out what it was like to
be truly starving. I didn’t have the luxury
of a vending machine, but when you’re
truly starving you need to do what you
have to, to get through the day.
