one, two, three

1. I did something mildly wrong--truly a teeny boo boo--at work today and wasn't reprimanded exactly, but a change was made to my workflow that I felt was unnecessary. I had to create my workflow in the first place and, in this case, I had to hand soemthing off long before it was ready/necessary. So I didn't catch La Boo Boo. My real irritation with this is...I take it so seriously. I want to be perfect. Because I do so little here, I want to be meticulous about that which I do do. My average has taken a hit. This boo boo means nothing, but there is a void where my sense of work fulfillment is supposed to be, and things like this quickly expand a la Sea Monkey in the space. See...I'm calling it "boo boo" to put it in its place (Down, Boo Boo!) but obviously it irks me enough to blog about it.

2. Matt says I need to give myself 5 years to learn how to work for myself. 5 years!

3. I moved things around in my office this weekend and it's brilliant! Not settled yet, but still encouraging because I moved in my drafting table and out a piece of furniture which wasn't working very well in my 8x8 box. And...a drafting table is a slanted surface, thus discouraging the paper piles. Genius! Matt helped. So did Elke. It was a little family project.
