Last Sunday's game was never likely to be played once the temperatures fell below freezing on three consecutive nights, so my first action in my great comeback was to postpone a game!
I went to watch a referee the day before the postponement, assessing if he was competent to step up to the next level. So much of Monday and Tuesday evenings were spent writing and re-writing his report.
Since Wednesday I've worked through a presentation for work, based on a course I've been attending with our in-house training and development department. It's been a pleasant surprise to be on the receiving end of some training rather than delivering it. Just as I did when I became a referee and I couldn't help analysing the performance, I've been doing the same with the trainers as the course has continued.
The presentation was tough to write as it is strictly a "Death by PowerPoint" job with no audience participation until the last 3-4 minutes assigned to questions. Having spent the last 4 years getting the room to interact with me, I have to deliver straight for 15 cold minutes. It looks good though and I'm hoping it goes down well next Thursday.
Tomorrow, I'm back out on the promotion assessment trail before spending the evening crossing my fingers hoping the rain holds off long enough to get my game played on Sunday.
Nervous? You bet!
