Enjoy your own company

Life has been slow in consultingland.

When I left for Australia for holidays in April I was expecting a biliously full diary throughout May, June and July but instead I spent that time contacting those same clients with carefully timed, gingerly oblique emails.  Now the diary is starting to fill up again and despite my blacker moments it seems that the last few months were an hiatus not an endgame.  The experience has been isolating; a common complaint amongst those of us who choose a Headcount:1 mode of work.
