Hi. It's Joe.
Last night, I practiced the final lesson in Module 1 of my Welsh learning software. It was fairly tough. I learned the words for WHAT, WHERE, WHICH, WHO, and the like. This weekend, I will do the comprehensive exercise that covers all the lessons of the module.
I also worked out yesterday morning. So I got a lot of goals accomplished. I am 2/5 on 45-minute workouts. I am 2/3 on both piano and Welsh (60-minute sessions). I am progressing at piano much faster than I ever have before, and that feels good. I am following my mom's suggestion of learning songs backwards, from the end of the song to the beginning. It seems to be a better way. It takes longer to learn the whole song, but when I do, I will be able to play the whole thing.
I slept like a baby last night, for the first time all week.
On Monday, the charlatan bloodsucking corporate overlords "re-organized" by team, making almost no good decisions to benefit the company, only themselves. It was very stressful for all of us and they handled it really poorly. My faith in the idiocy of corporate management is fully restored.
But on the positive side, I have a new boss who is really cool and is going to bat for us against the overlords. He is "the man." And he is willing to do battle with the soulless autocrats in upper management, known collectively as THE MAN. At what stage in someone's career do they lose their soul? I hope it never happens to me, but corporate America is notoriously soul sucking.
By Thursday, things had resolved themselves and I was feeling a lot better about moving to a new department, in part because my new boss is cool, as I said, and in part because I will no longer be working under or even associating with the corporate vultures and their inane decision-making.
Mostly, because nobody got fired, and everybody seems to have accepted their new lots in life. So, that is why I slept so well last night.
Time.
