The most obvious thing that I could say would either be that I don't post often anymore or that it is snowing outside. Both are true.
I think I am a manager at work. Low level and mostly out of the loop. Still I do a management function. In the past week I have felt fairly shaken with a lot of the changes that are going on. There have been a lot of starts of conversations that have not come to any sort of conclusion. Honestly I don't expect there to be much of a conclusion but I thought that there would be a little bit more progress then there is now. There is lots of watching things shake out and worrying about how it might. The financial times does not make it any easier at all.
I am starting to pay a lot more attention to the words that people use around me at work. There have been a few things said by management that have clued me in to ask more questions and thus I learned more. There have been a couple of comments made my my reports that also make me worry. Sometimes how you choose to communicate is very important for getting across your meaning. Read into that how you will but if any questions come up about what I mean I will not be answering comments about it.
Management is a balance of being aware and not being too fucking nosy.
School is over for now. I'll be able to expense the class. I am still embarrassed about the final project. I have been too stressed as of late to focus on all that much. I still should have done better.
The car is in the shop and I have a rental for the time being. More info hopefully on Tuesday.
