Seeing the Way Out

Well, the big puzzle in my professional life that has been plaguing me for over a year might have been solved this week. I've talked about it a bit but it's finally starting to subside. I think I've come up with a workable solution to the problem for our great nation and it appears as if all parties involved have resolved to accept my solution. This is very nice for me. I am often ignorant of stresses until they get very severe so this one has been slowly sizzling on the back burner. Yesterday was seemingly the last domino to fall for everything to lock into place and down it went. That resulted in a long, uninterrupted sleep last night. That sleep was filled with restful and relaxed bliss. I slept like a man freed from a great worry. I'm sure it's not fully done but enough has been cleared from the parts of the brain that worry for me to be able to get right into the sleep pile! I'm pretty happy that I'm loose of this weight. On the other hand, maybe it was the fun new episode of Conversations that Cheese and I put together last night. It was an enjoyable experience that set my evening on a path to a good mood. Which is not as frequent as one would hope. Maybe it was a combination but it doesn't really matter anyways, the key is that I've just got one more obstacle between me and being able to just focus on my regular job again and that is the annual summer assistant training that we put on for the kids. I say put on, but I mean conduct to check as many onboarding safety boxes as we can before they actually start. This is because when the kids do come on, we're usually in the midst of one of our busiest times of the year. We pay them for their time and give them a couple of good meals and if it's their pleasure, we even buy them a few drinks too. Ususally they are just running through the end of midterms and looking to blow off some steam themselves. It's a win-win really. Once that milestone has been passed, it's a flat out sprint to spring time. With a small detour into Easter Weekend, which I'm really looking forward to this year for some reason. Maybe just cause I have nothing else to look forward to, maybe because of a party, maybe because I might get to wear a fancy bowtie for hte first time in my adult life. Maybe another case of the combination, I'll keep you posted.
