Tranced

Today was a weird day. I slept so poorly on Thursday night leading into Friday that I was sure it was going to be a disaster of a day. Instead of fretting about the major problems I couldn't alter at this point I focused on the solution. Trying to nip small pieces off here and there. I also focused on getting done what was in front of my team. I calmly and methodically chipped away at tasks until now we're starting to look to be in a better position. I say look because we aren't really in the grand scheme but work is crazy this time of year. So intense with sky high expectations, a real crunch. Anyways, another by-product of lining up several poor sleeps is that you start to slip into a trance like state. Couple that with assembly line style tasks and things get weirdly serene. I made my team go for burritos on Friday to break up the day and to "celebrate" Cinco de Mayo. We didn't exactly capture the true theme of the day but much like people bastardized St Patrick's Day, we participated with no real reason what we were doing. I stayed late to continue to work after my team headed off to their exciting weekends. I watched Green Street Hooligans why I packaged seed. I forgot how intense that film is, it was banned in the US initially. I got home and fell straight away into my bed. Today I arose with the sun and was at work before 7 bells. I worked all morning to tie up loose ends and tidy up my shop to be ready for a storm of activity this week, giving my team a pleasant place to work. When I got home I had a too big lunch to follow up my too big breakfast and watched a couple of obscure films on Netflix. I skipped dinner and napped for an unnecessary ninety instead. I've been in and out of bed since, listening to SharkFarmer Podcast to while away my evening. I'm nearly caught up. It will be an early to bed night followed by an early trip to the grocer and laundry before a pleasant little Sunday follows. More on that later though.
