Monday

I tend to get in between 8:30 and 9:00 on a Monday and then spend the morning catching up
with my admin from the previous week – emails, expenses, etc.

I get together with a colleague at about 10:30 to plan for an important presentation that
afternoon to a senior member of the NHS account. It is for a new project that we are working
on that could bring in a lot of business for CSC. It’s really important that it goes well as he will
decide whether or not we continue this piece of work.

It’s a working lunch today, and we manage to get the presentation polished with 15 mins to
spare! The presentation goes well, and we seem to cover off everything he was looking for –
he has a couple of improvements, but thankfully nothing too drastic! We spend the rest of the
afternoon making the amendments.

I head to the Gym this evening, and then out for a quick bite with some friends.

Tuesday

Tuesday is a bit more maniac. I have an important workshop in Leeds on Wednesday, so
Tuesday is spent preparing for it. I have booked a hire car for the week, and it is dropped off
on Tuesday afternoon. After work, I quickly nip home, pack my bags for 2 nights and then jump
in the car and head to Leeds. I am booked into a hotel there, but by the time I arrive (due to
traffic) the restaurant is closed so it’s a bit of room service and a cold beer!.

Wednesday

Up nice and early on Wednesday, grab a quick breakfast at the hotel and then head into work to
finish preparing for my workshop. There are a lot of senior NHS account members present, so I
need to make sure that I know what I’m talking about!
The workshop went really well, and now everyone is enthused about my project and we all agree
what we need to do next. I grab a quick lunch, and then it’s back on the road on the way to
Solihull for another hotel!

I got to Solihull for about 5pm and quickly nipped into the office, as I had a couple of calls to
make. I finally get to my hotel about 6:30, leaving just about enough time to get ready and head
out for dinner. One of CSC’s Vice Presidents is over in the UK from Germany, so a small group
from the NHS account are taking him out for a meal. We have a couple of drinks, and then we
head back to the hotel.

Thursday

Thursday is another early start, and another hotel breakfast! I head into the office for about
8:15, and straight into a meeting. I have to present this afternoon to the VP on the projects
that I have been working on, so I spend the rest of the morning preparing for that.

The presentation goes well, but he asks lots of awkward questions. Thankfully I have done my
preparation so I can answer them all! As I am driving back from Solihull today,
I leave the office at about 3:00 to beat the traffic.

I was supposed to be meeting some friends this evening, but I am way too tired from all the
driving so I grab a pizza, and crash on the sofa instead!

Friday

Last day of the week! I manage to get a slight lie-in this morning – till 7:30. But I have a
morning of update calls which start at 8! Some interesting points, and generally this tends to fill
out my calendar for the next week. As the day goes on things wind down, and by the time the
afternoon rolls round, I can spend some time catching up with admin again.

I leave the office about 5, and then head into town for a well deserved night out!
