I did this.

I wanted to continue indefinitely, but I believe the information is too far back for me to access with my bank account. And somehow, I don’t care as much…but it was fun while it lasted! I love “free money”!

I'm doing this!
21 months ago
I’ve been coaching this whole year. It’s SO MUCH FUN! It’s also a big commitment, and I’m not sure if I can handle another year of it the way my life is right now. In any case, this goal is done and totally worth it!

Tea...
21 months ago
I have neglected my 43things for quite a while, and as I was looking over my list I realized this is the one goal I’m still really pleased with. I don’t think it will ever be accomplished, but it represents the kind of person I want to be.
I’ve got the “drink tea” part down, but lately I’ve been feeling irritated at nearly everyone all the time, including myself. I’ve been harsh and judgmental. Half the time I’m wondering why people are so stupid (as someone approaches me and says “Hey, uh, I have a question…well, um….should I, well, I was thinking that maybe, just, I don’t know, like…” and just the prelude to the actual content is enough to drive me over the edge.) Are people getting stupider, or am I getting less patient?
I have not been pleased with my reactions to stupidity lately. In fact, I should probably stop viewing it as stupidity. Sigh.
I wanted this to be an encouraging, happy post. But I am not at all pleased with myself. I will try to keep this in mind this week and envision myself this way at work.
