I shall attempt to focus.

I am marking the words... I will attempt to focus...

So I have embarked on a new journey at work. I've been put on a new project and it has alot of career potential with it mainly because it is with a flailing project and its soon to be quitting/fired project lead/manager (note the last 2 people under him were fired, the guy before that asked to move to another team). Seems there is great concern this is going to crash so they duped me into working on this but there should be a reward in the end for it all.

So I probably should focus. .. Its a technical project I know I can handle, its nothing any more complex than my background can handle. It simply requires focus that I need to regain. But if I can focus and get this done.. then by Jan I should be promoted one level and in line to run a team (step to the next promotion).

At times I feel I should have taken the YouBS jobs because I'd have been running a team there.. but alas.. what can I do, I wasn't ready for the HK jump. I had to skip to TKY first. So I gotta bust a little ass to get to square-1. Oh well so be it.

I think HK is inevitable by Dec 2009 (or sooner) if I pursue a serious career path. I think maybe its about time to go for it so what the hell. Although I know work shouldn't be what life is primarily about... once you become management you have to go wherever they tell you to. Lotta people are moving to HK or elsewhere and if you are management u can't really say no w/o jeopardizing your career.
