Three Different Ways:
Dreams, Madness, and Myths

Doing nothing yesterday paid off as I was able to jump into the schedule first thing this morning. What should have been a pleasant stop for an errand became uncomfortable as I identified another of my shortcomings that I may need help settling. It was my hope to have a third seal to add to…

I started the day with the full intention of completing So Many Things. In the end, the only thing that was completed was the reminder that the human body can only go so far without a break without breaking. As my day came to a halt, I had a random taste on my tongue. Well,…

The SATOR Square was tested today as what I was told would be a small gathering of people coming together to celebrate the departure of a beloved employee turned into a flood of employees, clients, and opportunists parading up and down the hall outside of my office.

Of my very long list of Important Things To Do On Saturday, nothing very important was actually done. The day started off being annoying and transitioned to being comfortable once the sun had set. As such, I didn’t look in any of my books for additional seals, but just let the time get away from…

Another day, another scheduled meeting, another undercurrent of anxiety. Another time to note just how many unnecessary meetings come with a management position. Did we really need to wait around for fifteen minutes for a five minute meeting where we’re told that time management training is now available on the company intranet. Oh, and enrollment…
