Busy, busy, busy

bookzombie It suddenly struck me this evening that the next couple of months is going to be a bit frantic:
1. Rehearsals for the concert restart in a couple of weeks and there's a number of songs still to set, including a couple that I am either the lead or dueting with someone.
2. Carl Brandon Award submissions have started flooding in.
3. Work is looking to get super busy for the rest of the year.
We do, at least, have a week in Italy in a couple of weeks time :-)
On the subject of work, it looks like we are going to be moving a lot of data onto the US systems and I seem to have become a key player in that process. Which is good. Still no guarantees about how long the job is going to last. The new department head came along to our team meeting today to meet everyone. In the Q&A someone did ask a slightly-disguised version of the 'are we going to have a job in 9 months time' question, to which he gave the only answer he could: If you have useful talents that the company continues to have need of then, sure. Which is really all you can say - and it's all that you can say in any job these days. As predominantly an analyst I'm as safe as anyone - I have fairly transferable skills so as the need for SAP-specific skills reduces I should be able to pick up other systems. But if next year they say that they don't need me? Well, right now I'm okay with that.
