Week 180

Things were written. Data was considered. Graphs were made. More was written and, yes, rewritten.

Also, making slides counts as writing, too, right?

Week 178

Yep. That was better than last week.

Week 177

Dear Week 177,

We’ve had a nice time, you and I. And the problems we have are mine, not yours. I’m going to be moving on, 177, to a week that I think understands my needs.

178 doesn’t make me go to meetings that should never have been called or sit through “training” that would have been better delivered as a three-bullet point email.

I’m sorry, 177. It’s not you, it’s me.

Ben
