- Those of you familiar with the film Mamma Mia might recognise the clump of trees on this promentary where Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard and Amanda Seyfried sang Our Last Summer.
All change

Glidepath disrupted
motivation troublesome
keep professional

by Scooj
- Having been unsuccessful in securing a job in my new work structure. I am having to work hard to keep motivated. Fortunately I love my job, so that bit is easy, but working for people who see me as surplus to requirements after a very long, loyal and unblemished career is rather more difficult. I need to remain steady and give it 100% until they ask me to stop, which might be a few months yet. Every day feels just that little bit more of a challenge to my positive stance and goodwill.

Failed to land my job
not the glide path I hoped for
the world’s my oyster

or that’s what I tell myself
in those sorrowful moments
