75 degrees this morning, no walk
This morning was the first morning I woke up without a cough, thank goodness, although just thinking the thought made me cough! Anyway I think it is getting better.
“Field Training” day yesterday (where I trained a new person in the field) and “Office Training” day today. I find out out much I know when I have to teach something and frequently learn something myself.
Got my new accounts for the month yesterday, although due to the training, I didn’t have a chance to look much at them. It is always fun to get the new accounts and process them. It becomes almost a game, which then lasts the rest of the month.
I wonder if I approach all problems/projects like i approach these. First, I try to get rid of the ones I shouldn’t have for some reason, that someone else should take care of etc. (Surprise, the computer that allocates them makes mistakes, although many of the mistakes are also caused by human mistakes!)
Then I prioritize them according to how long they have been on there, the priority, and, for existing ones that are carried over, what I know about them previously.
Usually, each day, I try to get several I know I can get resolved and immediately get off the list so I can reduce the number of items on the list, several I know will be “long term” and several new ones to start.
As I learned the program, I learned a lot more about it, including how to organize the list, comments I can place on the side where I view the summary of the task, normally one line, so it is important to summarize it in several words etc.
Really a weird dream this morning, I didn’t write it down immediately, so I’ve probably forgotten a lot of it but:
We were at some kind of meeting or conference, we had flown there. Somehow we all missed our flights back (Aliene and I were flying from Little Rock, so it must have been in Memphis or at least based on us living in Lakeland at the time.)
All of us missed our plane back for some reason, although in the dream it is vague as to where “back” is.
A Commissioner from a long ago City where I was City Manager (not Lakeland) was there and keep driving off in my car and taking my cell phone. No idea whee that came from.
The weirdest part (and the last little bit I remember), was that someone keep pushing a sheep off of the roof of houses.
In the last part, someone pushes a sheep off the roof of a house and the sheep lands right next to me. I wonder if it is hurt, but someone says that “sheep are used to it” and the sheep looks calm and walks away.
It would be interesting to determine where some dreams come from (well, maybe not!).
Hopefully my cold, or whatever it is, will be over soon and I can resume normal activity. Although at least I can function now, it still is a nuisance. I will go for hours and then suddenly start coughing.
This is where you say, thank goodness for modern medicine!
Three day weekend coming up. The only downside to Labor Day is that is it signals the start fo the true end of Summer.
That’s it for now, Thursday, September 3, 2015.
