I'm Going To Do That Thing
That thing where you make a point of considering the nice things that happened to help yourself avoid dwelling on the not-nice things that happened. Today was kind of a fucking slog and a lot of it made me pretty angry and I barely had time to pee all day let alone feed myself and, wait, I'm doing that other thing. I should stop that.
- I did a thing facilitation-wise in my first meeting that I've been meaning to do for a while now, but always forget. It worked, because it was a smart thing to do.
- The part of the big old planning day where I get to play with office supplies is always fun. I picked green index cards for all the stories on the task wall for this sprint. Last few times it was pink, but you can tell just by looking what stories have carried over.
- Someone apologized for doing one of the things that made me angry and bought me one of those cookies I like as a peace offering.
- On the way to Trader Joe's, where they had nice-looking artichokes, we stopped to pet a friendly cat who was out for a stroll along Magazine St.
- The on-the-ball guy remained on the ball while I was busy in meetings all day, because that's what he does. I appreciate On-the-ball Guy a lot.
- I never think to just randomly call friends to catch up, because I am kind of a mutant that way, but I did this afternoon and brigid was free, and we talked for a while, and it was nice, and maybe I should do that more often.
- I got a lot of shit done in the hour and a half after the eight solid hours of meetings (minus three minutes for peeing), so at least I didn't stay late and waste time.
