Look, a flying coach

Some thrills and spills today.  As we have discussed before, doing something that scares you a little is A Good Thing.  And thus I found myself on the scary high waterslide**at the swimming pool today, queueing with the seven year olds.  Almost bottled it, then slid off into the unknown.  Four times.  Back to sedate granny-lengths of the pool next time methinks.

Also quite exciting today to find yours truly quoted in the August issue of Red magazine (the one with the snazzy free beachbag).  It's a feature about the benefits of portfolio careers, where you have a variety of jobs throughout your life.  As opposed to the same job from 18 till eternity.  It's the future, I tell ya.  "Zenployment" is apparently the official term, though I can't see that catching on.  Mighty Morphin' Career Rangers - that's more like it.

**PS Of course this link doesn't show the actual waterslide I went down.  Mine was way steeper.  At least it felt like it.

I couldn't agree more with your comments on portfolio careers. I like the zenployment concept, too.

All I know is that you won't find me doing anything else. It's the best-kept secret going.

Warm wishes
