that one special day a year…
That was indeed a crazy day. I’d unfortunately forgot about the Christmas tradition in corporate land - that is, about 2 or 3 working days before Christmas, someone suddenly realises they just need this one little thing before Christmas. Multiply that by 25 (and that’s probably just a quarter of my customers), and it turns out to be not a fantastic moment/day for me at all. It was actually a little funny as I realised that the same thing happened last year… and the year before… but I forgot about it until it hit this morning :(
I left the office at about lunchtime (without lunch) and headed out to Regents Park to collect a couple of orders and play delivery dude and run around western Sydney to get things to customers that apparently “absolutely” needed to be there. All the while, talking on the phone trying to reason with my other customers who I just couldn’t do anything for. Gah… I don’t like it when I can’t get something done for my customers when they really need it.
Anyway, in amongst all that I built myself up to take a bit of a gamble on something… but it didn’t quite go the way I expected. I guess I was confused more than anything, cos I felt sure that I was with God on this one. But I guess I could’ve been just so wrapped up in my own thoughts that I might’ve not really been listening to God. Anyway… I now am quite keen on just stepping back and relaxing a bit; trying to understand what God wants from me and where he wants me to go.
It would be cool to know…
