XMAS PARTY
My first xmas party at Pelion. We had it at the Park Hyatt at the Rocks and the food was awesome. I'm a sucker for good seafood and there was some great platters of oysters and succulent prawns. It was sensational. I didn't stay too late though, left around 11 but I found out some guys went to 7am the next morning, animals!
Being at Pelion for just over 2 mths now, it's the best job I've ever had. There is so much creative freedom afforded to me and the challenges are significant but yet rewarding at the same time on accomplishment. I've learnt so much in such a short space of time and I haven't scratched the surface. Quickly discovered that the biggest bane of my existence is Timesheets. AAARGH they give me the sh!ts!

REALISATION
We lost in oztag tonite to guys nearly a decade younger than us. They were faster, more skilful, fitter and had an abundance of youthful exuberance. It was only a few months back that I felt I was in career best form but tonite I felt old and sluggish. Maybe it was the opposition but I just didn't have the explosiveness and impact that I wanted and expect from myself. It really got me down because I still enjoy playing footy so much and still feel I can make an impact and can do so for a while yet. I started questioning how can I get back to my best again. Extra ballwork, fitness drills over the holidays - who knows. I'll be doing them because I want to get back to my best. I still have the desire but it gets harder each day to accept that the hurdle gets harder with each passing day.......
