Yesterday was a longish day as we planned in the morning and then wrestled with issues in the afternoon. ( detail )
I felt i had more respect from my lead engineer. I guess he does believe i know some things.
We also took a lunch break to whack balls at the driving range up the street from the office. This seems like real team building: i'm delighted at the interest almost everyone has in learning and playing. So far it's all gentle encouragement and no competition, so huzzah.
I was home lateish, and just plopped down and watched a series: "Once (Upon A Time)." I have mixed feelings about the show. On one hand there's a quality that reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, where how one can cope with the issues of life are high-lit by the fantastic, plus there's a strong story arc. On the other hand is my repugnance of watching Disney/ABC continue to stake out a claim on the fairy tale space. So far the princesses haven't been too repugnant: Snow White has a tough character as a back story. I suppose we'll find out how Prince Charming and the brittle princess split up in future episodes.
So, no "conditions of enoughness" met in my afterwork goals: didn't crochet while watching things, didn't watch the online classes for which i've signed up, didn't do the minor bit of housekeeping on my list, didn't even feed the cats on time. And exercise? Ha!
I think i need to have a sliding scale of "enoughness" that slides with my available spoons. Feeding the cats and picking up the crochet hook really were possible last night.
Last night a pollster called about California politics: i found i have no opinion about the governor and the legislature. (This pissed off the pollster who hung up on me, thinking i was just not sharing.) I know our budget situation is dreadful, but i also know the absurd way the ballot measures over time have hamstrung our legislature from responding appropriately. If the pollster had asked about my opinion of the state constitution i would have given him an earful. It did stir up a little fear that i had electoral choices of which i was unaware, but no, it's not time for me to decide if i want a new governor.
I'm all about developing just in time opinions.
Speaking about just in time opinions, Californians may want to start perusing ballot guides for the eleven propositions. I have a pdf copy of the ballot guide from a Humbolt County progressive organization that consolidates a broad range of endorsements into a nice table that i can send to you. Previous versions are at http://hopecoalition.org/archives . Compared to http://californiachoices.org/ballot-measures-2012-6/endorsements this has more organizations but not the newspapers. It's still a little early, but depending on how deeply you want to dig in sorting out your opinion on the ballot measures, it may be time to begin!
