| Some Days You Just Have to Keep Working I’ve just been sitting here this morning wondering what I should write about. Sometimes the thoughts just pour out of me as if someone had turned on a tap and other times it’s more of a trickle than a steady flow. This morning it’s trickle time and that’s a bit strange. I had plenty of ideas before I got out of bed but they all evaporated between the bedroom and the office. So I started looking back over what I had written in the last few days and then I had to smile to myself. Yesterday morning I wrote that we had basically taken the day off on Thursday and I would be getting back into the pile of work that I had to do yesterday. And of course that just didn’t happen. Instead I allowed myself to become rather angry about a situation that I have little or no control over and concentrating on work was almost impossible. That sort of anger is something I usually try and avoid because it’s pointless but yesterday it got the better of me and I just had to get up and walk away from the computer. But there in the back of my mind was a little voice telling me that I really should be working, there was plenty to do and I would really hate myself if I let the whole day turn into wasted time. It was then than Bill Gates and his crew came to the rescue. Toni’s laptop has just come back from the repair shop and it needed to be networked again. Thankyou Mr Gates for providing me with the frustration that drove out all that anger. By the time I had the laptop talking to the rest of our network I was ready to spend the rest of the day doing some business-related reading. But at the end of the day I wasn’t happy because I felt that I hadn’t really achieved anything. But, on reflection,
I did spend the day working and I did achieve some goals. Perhaps those
goals weren’t the ones that I had in mind when the day started but
some days you just have to keep working. 3 Sep 2005 |
