5, 6, (7), 8
I got a lot done today. But of course, not everything. And in fact, I’m not done with my day. But I know it won’t all get done. That’s just not the way of this world. As an old friend used to say “Your to-do list will be finished when you’re dead.”
Sort of a way of thinking of “job security” I guess, even when the to-do’s aren’t associated with paying work.
One notable thing: today was one of those days where I worked from home in the morning and then took an early lunch in order to attend the staff meeting at church. And again, when I returned to the corporate job, at least two people made a comment about how “chipper” or “refreshed” or “good” I looked. As if I actually have a different way of walking and carrying myself after time at the “other” job.
It always catches me off guard in order to have this independent confirmation that the internship work feeds my soul and the corporate work, no matter how good I am at it, or how lucrative it is, weighs me down spiritually.
So. there you go.
On the brighter side, I’m not getting ignored.

Good to hear that you are all chipper and refreshed. At least people were not telling you that you look like shit or something. I hate when someone tells me that because usually I feel that way.
What’s the word????????????????????

I fantasize about being able to work form home. I’d probably get more done in way less time, but there’s no way it will ever happen.

Yes! I just re-entered the corporate world to make money and though I excel at it, I finish each day with a dull ache in my temples from the stale office air. I am counting the days until this assignment ends and I can begin my own business, in an environment (and work!) that feeds my spirit.

Dude. You totally should have kept up the Zagat thing, as in:
at least two people made a comment about how “chipper” or “refreshed” or “good” I looked. As if I actually have a “different way” of “walking” and “carrying myself” after time at the “other” job.
Why? I don’t really know why. Anyway. Hi.
