Just like a thirsty man drinking water from a fire hydrant

I'm beginning to realise how much I've learnt and panic at the thought of how many things there still are to be learnt. No, it's not the quantity that scares me, but the speed the learning has to happen at.
I think that only now did I "touch base" with reality: there are no more colleagues to ask or consult with, there are no more departments to brief and then leave them in charge with that part of the project...
Learn learn learn
I'm consuming tones of information: recycling, finance, social marketing, social networks, SEO and web design ... I have been absent a year (not in my life - here I think I was more present than in many years) and it seems that the world has changed completely.
I'm beginning to understand my mother's panic attacks.

It's exciting and scary. I realise that I shall have to face my fears and shame. I'll have to learn to "sell myself" - God I always hated financial discussions!

Two shy people much more introvert than we let see - ufff, we need to get out of our shells.
We know we must start networking and shamelessly boast.
So embarrassing for us...
Have blushed just at the thought of it...
