Needing to chill

-

Today was the first day of my two weeks alone in "customer reception" where I felt was on top of things and even had some time to goof off (meaning, surf the 'net). It's been busy, but busy's good. Busy is far better than bored. (I can't believe how fast these two weeks have flown!)

In other news, I'm not really in a writing mood these days. I want input more than I want to output. I want to immerse myself in my books, in learning something, in musing over it, and letting stuff digest, without the distraction of racking my brain for something to say - especially before I'm ready to say it.

Still, I do want to keep up a daily blog, but you may find yourself subjected to more stuff like this for a while:

You Are Electronic Music
You are energetic and expressive. You love feeling alive.
You never get sick of your favorite things - they're what makes life special.
You don't take tradition or conventions too seriously. You live for the future.
You enjoy remixes and re-interpretations of things. Life is about making improvements.

Another week to go before summer vacation. Not a moment too soon!

Reggae here: "You're laid back, friendly, and even a bit of a bum at times. For you, life is too short to spend your time angry at the world.
But while you don't take life too seriously, you're deeper than people realize. You're very reflective, and a few key topics (like social justice and love) are very important to you."

That's right, I'm deep and care about shit. Hah!

LOL, Paula! I think it fits. Except maybe the bum part. They haven't seen your shoes.

Jon, first or last day of what?

Your first sentence said first day but the rest indicated that it was the last day of the two weeks.

Cleaning out my surf-box

-
I have a folder in my mail application, labelled "surf" into which goes e-mails containing links to sites to read or explore later. Most of the mails are from myself to myself. Here are some gems worth sharing: It’s not what you plan to do that comes first, it’s what you’re willing to give up to make time and space to do it. From the Lifehack article Letting Things Go , which is a good read for us procrastinators. It touches on one reason we don't do what we want to do: We simply don't make the time for it. Somewhat related to the above is Merlin Mann's suggestion for getting a fresh start by replacing one project . Find something that gets you really excited and makes you feel energized and hopeful about the prospects in your life. Pretend for a moment that you can finally scratch an itch that you may never have acknowledged until now. [...] Excise something stupid, and undertake something cool.

Brave enough, after all

Prologue : I am no longer on partial sick leave. I am considered well and am back to work 100%! I have new tasks but am the master of my day, even though my work calendar has never been as full as it is now! Now: I was tasked with teaching some part-time workers about what a beta tester does at work, the temporary position I was in for over 18 months while on partial sick leave. And having not ever done this before, I was easily driving myself crazy. Eventually, after trying to plan the lesson and more or less succeeding, I got to a point where I started to settle down. Where I realized that it was hard to know if I was doing this right because it had never been done before. There is no measure for success for this yet. It started with a couple of things: A visit to my doctor's where I realized that "Trust, not doubt" (in Norwegian: "Tillit, ikke tvil") was my new mantra or motto. That was followed by an instruction from an online course that read, &quo
