Last day today at GSP and today will be spent putting the finishing touches on everything and saying goodbyes.
I am quite happy with what we have achieved during the three months here but at the same time, I will miss the place and its people. They are a warm bunch of hardworking people who took me in as one of their own and I was made to feel comfortable from day one. Special thanks to Peter Piccione (for all the travel and general advice, a sound sounding board for all my wacky ideas!), Jennifer Jefferys (provider of solutions when i had any problem) and Stephen Rudgley (lunch buddy and going out of his way to drop me home, time and time again!)
Flying home today for a week of rest and then heading back to Sydney to start work with Australian Radio Network (ARN) after that.
I went to meet with Jodie Koning (National Marketing Director, Australian Radio Network) yesterday and she briefed me in on the specifics of my next block.
This has been an amazing learning experience. This block gave me an insight on the outdoor/pos print industry, marketing and organisational behaviour.
I look forward to see what ARN throws at me next!

Frantic pace on its way
12/01/2011
First post for 2011. Writing err typing 2011 feels weird. But then i suppose every new year feels weird as time seems to be flying past. As a group we are almost at the 1 yr mark for this program and looking back it has been interesting. I have been fortunate enough to be involved in a huge project (in NZ Mags) and now with GSP, it is again a totally unique learning experience.
Over the Christmas break, Tracy had managed to get me in touch with Ciaran Davis (CEO, Australian Radio Network) and he was kind enough to offer me some challenging projects which will form my next block.
Before I start thinking about that, there is a lot of work at hand here at GSP.
There are still a lot of things that need to be ticked off and time is running out. One of the biggest major is finishing the website for GSP which I was putting together. Everything is running and completed except for the contact form on the website. This is the part where an interested customer fills in their details, presses submit and the information comes through to an email address here at GSP.
Tried to get some help from the IT team but have been told that there is a freeze and nothing will be done before 17th Jan. Guess, we will have to wait and see what happens after the 17th.
The weather is quite bad here in Sydney with constant rain and changing seasons but nothing as bad as what we are seeing in Queensland.
My thoughts and wishes are with those devastated by the raging floods in Queensland. Its hard to fathom that so much destruction can happen so quickly and without warning.
