The situation during the day's getting increasingly intense. I find that I'm on the phone every moment talking to friends about their work situation. I've heard from so many friends. I love it and it the same time it's kind of stressful.<\/span><\/div>\n
At the same time I'm really jazzed about the stuff I'm working on. I'm incredibly busy right now which feels good but I was starting<\/span> to think about my calendar\u2026 and it really started freaking me out. some people stress out over money, I stress out over time. I knew I had some major work deliverables and hobby deliverables coming up, some talks I had to right then give, some work travel, and it all swirls together in my head.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
I really need to see you all laid out. I came downstairs to find Diane to talk aboit it.. Shs always my best advisor. Imtold her about my schedule,woes,and she asked me if I had put all my stuffmOn my big calendar. She bought me a great dry erase calendar that allows me to see what I need to do by when. When I see things laid out all becomes clear.<\/span><\/div>\n
Well… The answer,was no.. I hadnt put it on mymcalendar because id,had this,grwta,idea,in decmebr to,put my cal..which,is,as,uglymas,it,is,useful… Behind a really cool fabric wall hanging that we got in India<\/span><\/div>\n

.. I figured it spruced up my work space to have a wise elephant behind my head rather than my messy calendar.. I kept it current for several weeks.. But then..i stoppped remembering that it was there.. The wise elephant stood guard<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Once reminded today I decided to take down the elephant and put it somewhere else I stuck my stuff on the calendar and then realized it wasn't all that bad. And sat down and started working again.<\/span><\/div>\n

They say An elephant never forgets\u2026 I wish I didn't. <\/span><\/div>\n
