Life
How did I end up here?
I fired 20% of my staff during one ugly week in September (they were clocking in and then going home until time to clock out). Oddly, they all fought it rather hard despite mounds and mounds of evidence.
Last week I did a memorial for a Green Beret in a stadium full of people.
This week I made the city council & my boss decide it is in everyone's best interest that I not be allowed to speak in the presence of elected officials (unless scripted from pre-approved scripts). It makes them feel "less intelligent".
Next week I will be with the Governor & the Adjutant General for the state overseeing part of an event (lol - scripted).
I quit dealing in cash and often find myself doing things for people just to help out or make them smile (i.e. I don't charge folks for things I do or give). I seems to earn me "future favors"… so much so that it seems I don't even have to pay tickets. -Not that I have to ask, they are just "removed" and I find out later when I try to deal with it-
I've switched to Mac…
For the last two days, we did so much "prep" on the farm that I still smell vaguely like death (despite virtually bathing in bleach, multiple showers, and deodorant).
I submitted my doctoral dissertation last week.
I have been informed that the other division heads are "truly scared of me". Why, I have no clue - I have nothing to do with their divisions, their staff, or their employees. I've never done anything but try to be as helpful as possible or make them aware of the rules/laws when I couldn't. But several people insist that they are afraid; very afraid. Personally, I was trying to be likable… not scary!
