A two-man show today as 2 of my colleagues are not in; so the work today is naturally more packed and we almost forgotten lunch. I had lunched with my manager and had quite a series of casual conversations with him and he shared about various opportunities about specialising in the insurance field, such as Energy, Aviation and the like; and also about certification like ACII and ANZII, which are specialised insurance qualifications.

Degree will be an opportunity-opener, which is something I should be looking at after I've learnt the ropes firm here.

Although the day had been mentally challenging for me, the experience gained and being able to work along with my manager had been good; just that I need to make sure I slow down my conversational speech...could that be due to occupational hazard from my previous role?
