Burning sick leave this afternoon to go see the doc. Why? Um, because better safe than sorry.
“Are you having problems with xxxx, and yyyy?”
“Yes.”
“Well, which one?”
“Both. Depends on the hour, really.”
*quizzical look*
“I have MS.”
“Oh.”
For the other things, can I do a LeBron James-style decision presser soon?
Maybe.
(And it’d be awesome in its own, special, way. We’ll set aside LeBron’s overbearing douchiness for the moment……)
As I said a few days ago, it’s a good thing to have me on your team. I do screw up. A lot, sometimes. But I’m trying to help you do whatever it is you’re doing the best way it can possibly be done. When I disagree with you about something, I want you to convince me that your way is the right way. I’m not going to harp on it forever after I’m convinced.
I haven’t mastered the expert systems engineer trait of being able to lose an argument with myself. Most days. Or maybe it’s the other way around….
Regardless, I want to churn out something quality. It may not be exactly what I’d originally envisioned in my scarred-up brain. So be it. If it makes sense, I’ll defend it until someone shows me why it isn’t the right thing.
The big question I have, unlike LeBron, is, “where can I be fulfilled?” I have far too little energy to spend on things that won’t be ultimately satisfying.
What job would you most like to have? What keeps you from getting it?
It’d be a real shame for me to blow such a meaty question.
(Real answer: see above. I want to do whatever I can creatively to make something that’s ubiquitously-simple. Too bad Tom already came up with the Jump-to-conclusions mat…..)
