Morning Writing
I overslept a little, forgetting to set my alarm. My "pre-alarm" -- the iPod playing a recording misidentified as the Dali Lama chanting for healing -- hasn't been going off for a while now. GreyBeard's timely wake up has been missed for a while as well. Eventually my inner clock got my attention.
I don't usually think of my frustration with the iPod alarm when i'm awake: a search for the issue with the second generation iPod nano on the Apple support site turned up nothing. It came back once after a reboot, but i suspect it has something to do with having sync'ed my calendars and the calendars' reminders.
I've dealt with a yam or two this morning: a past colleague who is networking and, more heavily, a volunteer website editor task or two. The volunteer website editor role is darkened by a major management issue i am not up to addressing with the similar weights on my work life. The coeditor is essentially AWOL, despite constant facebook posting of music links. My assessment is that there needs to be coaxing and mentoring of this person, and i'm not able to do it. That makes me feel like a failure, but i'm sticking to my boundaries here: i noted when i took the role i could do basic update tasks and the co-editor would need to take on any larger work. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
