What a day!

One of my favorite questions is "How do you know when you are overwhelmed?" It gives great insight to a person's self-awareness.

Well, I am overwhelmed! Not permanently. In fact, not even right this minute.

But, when I start finding myself pissed of at people who can't find their way out of a wet paper bag, well, I'm overwhelmed.

From the IRS to MSC to CIM to prepping for the weekend to making payroll on Monday, life is cabaret and it's full of folk who need me to make decisions!

I saw a post of www.bash.org that sums this all up:

<+kritical> christin: you need to learn how to figure out stuff yourself..
<+Christin1> how do i do that

So, today I will remind myself that I am a volunteer. I found a way to involve myself in all these situations because generally I like being involved!

On a happy note, I really like my new-used laptop! It is light fast and the battery lasts forever! I'm still getting it configured the way I want it, but it is generally quite a delight. And, between the Halliburton combination-locked case and the bicycle cable locking to the seat pedestal in the SUV, it should be a little harder to abscond with!
