be more attentive to my surroundings

took a couple houseplants in…. That’s a start.

It won't go in. 2 days ago

Took a friend to emergency room – while there got news another friend just died. His wife and family in emergency room across town. I just saw them a week or so ago, after a fairly long time…

It won’t go in. I have a little emotional response when I think of his grieving wife, but none to the event itself. All I can do is enjoy the rhythm of the words: “After a scratchy day, a rough night.” Which is both comforting and disturbing.



At work: time management, order, structure, policies. (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 3 days ago

we grew fast for awhile and the old ways of doing things don’t work very well anymore. many of us are trying to get us on track and one day it seems we’re making progress, but then the next it’s back to the same frustration. Progress with one set of issues leaves things in even worse disarray elsewhere.

Today it got to me, because most of it is beyond my control. Just because other ppl have (pick one – time management/delegation/attentiveness/ communication) issues doesn’t mean my time and performance should have to be impacted so strongly.
