Ten.One Thousand, Seven Hundred & Eighty-Two

1. TGIF.

2. This morning, the song almost makes me cry. I blame it on fatigue.

3. She asks me if I am a coach of something. Says she saw me at the softball game and wasn’t sure if it was me. Her daughter is on the team. I feel bad for not noticing her in the stands. It’s a context thing.

4. Not sure how to get around this.

5. Is it necessary or is it about control? Is it going over their head? No. Just doing the right thing.

6. I’m telling him because I care.

7. After I tell him why I needed a meeting, he asks me a broader question. I try to be diplomatic in my language. Try to explain that people react to fear, uncertainty, lack of clarity, and stress in many different ways. And sometimes it looks like resistance, standoffishness, anger. I’m trying not to take any of it personally.

8. My job is really to make everyone else’s job easier.

9. BLT with cheddar and red onions on wheat bread. Dill pickle chips.

10. Reading between the lines.
