decisions decisions

I've been thinking a lot lately about decisions - and I'll discuss a big one once I have the opportunity - but it's amazing to me how some people's inability to make even the smallest ones. Maybe I don't have an overwhelming fear of disappointing someone, or it's some kind of natural "leadership" quality, but there certain things I don't feel need much discussion.  Example:  yesterday we had a luncheon at work which required megan and me to go to sams club for plates, cups, napkins, utensils, etc.  I picked out some plates, based on their three compartments (we were serving pasta and salad, so I felt the compartments were an added benefit that the sauce didn't get mixed in with the salad dressing) and mentioned that they were styrofoam so they wouldn't get all flimsy.  After I put them in the cart, we remained in the aisle for another 5 or 10 minutes evaluating all the other plates.  Compartments or no compartments? These ones say "leak proof..."  I nearly ripped my hair out, wanting to scream - no one cares about the damn paper plates beyond serving their purpose of holding food.  later I got questioned, followed by another 5 minute discussion of where I thought a good place for the cheesecake was. Maybe I should have some sort of strong feeling on the placement of cheesecake...but I just don't.  Just set it down and move on.

maybe since I'm new to the workforce I'm just naive and don't realize the importance of such decisions.  if this is the case I'm definitely not looking forward to working the rest of my life.

but in my quest to make a big decision, I've realized how important the little ones are, how the little details to count.  Knowing the answers to little ones, makes arriving at the big one much easier.  Sorry to be so cryptic, it's just personal right now, and until I fully deal with it, I don't think its right to share it.

I'll keep you posted.
