A Monday, January 2015
I woke up to the sound of rain and the front door slamming shut. It wasn't even 6am, and I slept for another hour before deciding to get up. Does anyone else find it easier to get up in the morning when you're the last person to leave the house? I enjoy those private hours. There's something about being left to myself that appeals to me. Yet I'm terrible at taking care of myself. Sweet irony.
The sidewalks and streets were covered in thick layers of bulky ice this morning. It kept on raining, making the ice even more treacherous. Not only do you have to watch where you're going, you also have to be careful to look up and not get hit on the head by blocks of ice falling off of roof tops. City life can be pretty scary, I guess.
I bought a new personal domain today, I'll play around with setting up a wiki to make life easier at work. It should be a fun little project, I'm really happy with it. And I haven't even started. We'll see how it ends. I feel out of my depth, but I am looking forward to organising all the information.
I am not happy about doing a team meeting at work later this week. What should I say, what do I want to accomplish? I don't know, but I told my manager that I'd sit my team down for a meeting by January 30th at the latest - so it needs to be done. Otherwise she'll make yet another note that I've failed to accomplish yet another one of my her silly goals. Maybe I can combine my wiki project and the meeting somehow. Not sure, not sure. Note to self; find a way to make these obligatory goal requirements things you actually want to achieve too. I am not sure what kind of manager I'm supposed to be, I don't even want to do team meetings. I keep telling people I'm not the leader type, but they won't listen.
