The Week's Ups And Downs (And Fun Ups)

Work has been strange lately. Projects starting and stopping. Meetings that never start on time. Taking over from people, having changes made to the work, and being told to continue. People telling us to do part-2 work even though they know that part-1 work has been canned. Rounds and rounds of work that has been approved locally but rejected in a couple of days by some blokes who wake up 5-6 hours later. Thoughts and ideas down the drain. And for others, credit not given where credit was due. There are people I listen to losing faith in other important people they work with. Others complaining about not having enough people to do the work yet people are not sticking around, and not moved around to shore up the vacuum. I've also discovered people who think harder about what they are doing to make the outcomes better. There are also a few who want me to listen, sit in and think about their ideas. There was good cake last Thursday, the kind one should lick off the plate. I think it has something to do with the winter-spring changeover thing. Good thing I had a beer and some time with funny friends at the end of the week.
