Fun and Excitement!

I'm solo-ing parenting this week, and it's as fun as always.  I really do need to just flush my phone down a toilet at night though, it is the Thief of Time in a big way.

I have a pretty good app for managing it, but it does need me to turn it on. I wish there was a way to trigger it automatically at a certain time, or at a certain location.

Haulin' garbage

I feel like I'm hauling garbage for a lot of people that I love and cherish, and I feel terrible for them.

I've pushed back against drama in a number of setting, personally, simply by walking away, but I reaaaally can't do that in a couple of these places.

So, I guess, hold on, 'cause this may hurt...

Cryptic Posts

Heh, those were some cryptic posts... but now it's all good.

But let's talk about the Graceful Exit.

Say you've been wronged, and you're hurt, and you're in a position that serves customers (and you are), so you decide to leave

When you decide to leave that position, you have a responsibility to serve those cusotmers one last time, to keep them from being hurt. Because, I think, if you don't, you are likely to be the one who carries the blame, not the people you left, especially if you, um, started the organization you left in the first place.

I'm reminded of a young priest, who after they had left a position, was contacted by a family who had scheduled them for an interment.  And when they phoned FROM THE GRAVESIDE to say "where are you?" said, " I don't work there anymore, you'll have to call the church" instead of "HOLY CRAP LET ME HELP YOU IF I CAN"
