How is it I can get so spun out of control over issues, but it just takes a little to center me? Never mind, I know that one. How is it that I seem to forget it so often, when remembering it could let me center myself?
I got what I really needed: I got a list of priorities, so I don't feel like I'm guessing which way to jump. And now, I know that while I am not getting everything everyone wants done (yet) or even all the important stuff (yet), I am getting the stuff that most needs to be done, done.
It's still sunny out, but too washed-out to be really pretty. Which makes it very pleasant to be inside, in the air conditioning.
I've gotten a few things done that I needed to, not just at work but in other areas, to feel better about how I'm handling things. I really hate it when I get in these loops.
I'm also still not fond of noticing that work has eaten my life, but it hasn't entirely. My problem was that it's trying to and I feel guilty about not letting it.
I finally hauled out my "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work" book again and, lo and behold, of the first six entries I glanced at (I've read them all before), I was violating five of them.
Go figure....
Much more cheerful, partly 'cause of that, partly 'cause some code problems are now fixed.
