Good Day Done

July 30, 2008

The day went well, I think. A party, nicely done, with good food and lots of peers. Our retiree to be is a survivor buff, (not a scarf, although she scarfed some food), so we voted her off our island. About a dozen different workmates put their reasons on film and we showed it at the lunch. Much fun. A few gifts, and back to work. Oh yeah – our boss made four cakes – really good cakes. None left.

To unwind two of us workmates took a 5.3 mile walk after work. It was a new route for us, and afterwards I checked to see just how high those hills were. We had 465 feet of total elevation gain. Most of it in three major hills. But a good way to work off the BBQ lunch.

Sigh, maybe tomorrow I will get some more focused WORK done.

Trepidation

July 30, 2008

That is how I feel about today.
Nothing really bad – just work and walk.
Much to do at work, much of it important work that has lagged to long.
Need to focus on some, think it through.
In my true “green” fashion (we do colors at work – green = overanalyzer, but trust the work when finally done) I am getting ready to review a technical piece by reviewing the work that I did that will support the piece, or not. This needs to be done, should have been done long ago.

But that is not the deep source of today’s trepidation.
We are having a farewell – really want the leaving to fare well. It should be HAPPY. And yet, it is not totally full of happiness. I have prepared what I hope will be received well, in the spirit given. But I want to survive without a total lapse into blueness (touchy-feely, emoting – not one of my strong suits, so I don’t control it well).

Without change we can not grow. Not all change is bad – just different.
FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS – ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE.
