I have been working late though this week since we have guests. And today was exceptionally late. Not like too too bad but enough that I wanted to just go to sleep when I got home. So I lay down then I woke with a start realizing that I'd forgotten to record tomorrow's news show and make a gopher post. Today was a decent workday. The out of towners leave tomorrow so we get to say our goodbyes in the morning. I am happy we got this time together. My frustrations yesterday were a lot less intense today. The fire and the combustion was roaring in the background but didn't escape the fire place.I keep using the analogy that our department is a child that's been given a high powered sports car and put onto the road in a busy city. No one seems to quite grasp what I'm trying to convey. The work products I was worried about producing yesterday were not produced today as expected. On the other hand we did discuss the topics at length and come to a consensus on what to do. I am almost purely driven by consensus-based decision making. And it amazes me that people make decisions any other way. OK I'm pretty tired so I'll just leave it at this I'm glad that the dictation software works for the most part. I just need to be mindful of how much I'm talking, and when was the last time the batch of text was updated. Good night
