work-at-home day

i realized a lot of things yesterday.

yesterday was a work-at-home day. my boss called it Pure Time. i referred to it as Turning-The-Tide of crazy work.

i realized, first of all, that i need at least one work-at-home day a week. it helps my brain a lot, gives me perspective, and significantly lessens my agitation especially during high-stress periods.

i realized that developing a very good proposal can take half a day. but then you can sleep the sleep of the just afterward.

i realized that so far, i have been the only person in the team trying to figure out how to do things more easily, conveniently and efficiently. most of everyone can be pretty happy with the usual. a handful can even be quite resistant to tweaking routines.

i realized that there could actually be a far simpler solution to all the manpower/equipment/workload challenge we are facing right now.

i realized (again) that i don't have to kill myself many times over to prove my worth all over again.

i realized that i am really pretty good at what i do. and i also believe i am not the only one who can do it. the universe is generous with gifts, and i believe it likes having more of a good thing. i guess i just really need to find the 'others'.

i realized that love really can bring that much positivity and optimism.

i realized (again) that jacob is the one of the bestest, most wonderful story that has ever happened in my entire life.
