One of my co-workers is moving on to be a director of engineering. He said to me today that I am one of the most consistently sharp dressed people he has worked with. I know - I don't dress sharply enough to be the exemplar of men's office fashion, but I wear a dress shirt that fits and some almost reasonable, but slightly lacking, pants. But my shoes are sharp. And that is what caught his attention. He noted how the leather quality and the color was just the best. They are brown Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenues, and I keep them in shape. We chatted a bit about dressing nice and leaving good impressions or avoiding negative impressions. Then we talked about an executive 'coach' he is consulting with, and that was a great chat. I even thought it could be worthwhile chatting with this coach as a dedicated contract worker, just to see if there any opportunities I might be leaving on the table. So, people are paying attention.

G'Day Gents, I just wanted to share something a special part of my life that I don't think I've talked about in this group prior to now. So, in 2021 my younger brother and I started up a Touch Football Team called Razzle Dazzle (that's another story), the players, sponsors, kits and marketing was done in the space of 10 weeks before the season was set to start. We ended that season with an abysmal 0-1-6 record, and to rub salt into the wound the team had to be rebuilt for the following season. We ended the 2022 season with a silghtly better 1-2-9 record, however the team had to be rebuilt once again for the following season and had a huge falling out with our main sponsor, forcing us to scramble and find another for the upcoming season. We ended the 2023 season with a much better 3-1-6 record, especially when you consider that we only had 9 players in our squad that year. However, 2024 brought the end of the first era of Razzle Dazzle Touch Football, with the imfamous housefire forcing us to put our team on what would go onto be a 859-Day hiatus. During that hiatus, Breaker spent four seasons (two winter and two summer) slowly building a team that would eventually become NWS Razzle Dazzle and after a disappointing season start 0-1-4, the team enlisted my help to get back into the coaching saddle, and under my tutorage became the 2026 winter competition's dark horses and with a overall 2026 season record of 3-3-4, against all the odds went on to win the 2026 Division 2 Winter Bowl title tonight. Whilst the team has greater ambitions to chase the competition's Holy Grail, the CC Summer Shield, the fact that the team was able to claw its way back from the depths of despair to docking into the promised land, becoming a title winning outfit, is an incredible achievement in of itself and will hopefully lay the foundations for any and all future success moving forward.
