Reality Me

Month: March 2022

  • My 2022 and 2023 foci

    I’m focusing 2022 on closing out as many projects as I can. In 2023, I’ll close out any that did not complete in 2022.

  • Work

    Work: “It’s Monday! We want you product! So much to do. Go go go go!”
    Also work: “Eh, yeah, we installed so many software and firmware updates to your computer over the weekend that you will spend half your day rebooting your computer. No, we aren’t moving the deadlines.”

  • Fixing the modern calendar

    We need to rename the days of the week. Let’s begin with Monday:
    Xanaxday
    CBDday
    Caffeineday
    Ritalinday
    Cialisday
    Scotchday
    Aspirinday

  • Confidence

    You know how when you are in the ocean and the water is getting shallower and shallower and you feel like you are finally getting out of deep water but then suddenly you are neck deep or in over your head because you were actually on a sandbar? I’m hoping I’m not on a sandbar but I suspect I am.

  • The need for friends

    I need to talk to someone
    But I can think of no one to call
    I’m not sure I even want to chat
    I’d just like to know someone has my back
    It’s very lonely in this crowded world
    I have so many friends I haven’t seen in years
    Would they listen to me discuss my fears
    Or are they too caught up in their own woes
    Busy, consumed in their lives
    To be troubled by my troubles I keep inside
    I bet they also need to talk to someone
    I’d love to chat unfortunately I don’t have time
    To call them back.
