For my viewing pleasure.  I love sick days – except the being sick bit of course.

finally a place to call home

breathe, home, plan

Wow.  What a shitfight house hunting has been.  A thoroughly demoralising process.  I’ve suffered long – as have all the people around me 🙂  But finally today, a victory.

I’ll be writing all the notes I can about all the hoops I’ve had to jump through and the reasons why the process has been a nightmare.  Most importantly, I want to document how to beat the mongrels at their own game.  I want to be prepared for the next time we do battle.

Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t “get a bargain” – I am sure I paid more than I should have for the home I’ve signed for.  But I feel like I spent so long figuring out the rules of this game, that it’s like I started from scratch again just recently.

Now I know there’s a month or so of documents, finances, filling in forms and boxes to tick – not to mention the boxes to pack.  But soon, it’ll be over – for a while anyway.

breathe, spirit, stress, Work

I’m nowhere near rock bottom – health, wealth, work or family-wise – but some of these are areas are keeping me awake at night.  I can foresee a period of struggle ahead.

Any more rubbish heaped on from anyone and I’m gonna drown myself in this bowl of jellybeans.  And I’ll do it, too!

how to survive office chess

attitude, breathe, perspective, roses, Work

Work has been a little unsettled of late.  There’s a reshuffle going on with the higher paid members of the office community – not that anyone is saying anything.  It’s like the powers that be are more happy to shift everything on paper and then tell the pieces the news and suffer the fallout.

I am one of the pieces.  So how do I deal with being the last to know when it’s my 8 hours a day that’s changing?  Beats me actually – I don’t do it that well.  I go back to the important principles of leadership.  The things I value in a boss – honesty, straight-forward info, handshakes, open communication and telling it like it is to the face of the person that it is too…if that makes sense.  Basically I think I expect the kind of behaviour that doesn’t get delivered in times like these.

My “Queen CLM” title (ie. career-limiting-moves) comes from my not being able to look a game-player in the eye once I see how they make their moves.  I lose a lot of respect for people very quickly.  I know they don’t care about it – but I’ve never been good ~ never will be good ~ at pretending how they play the game doesn’t matter.

I don’t smile when someone’s blowing smoke up my arse. And I sure as hell don’t thank them for it.  But, that’s my problem – so I buy myself some roses and sleep well at night.  Not sure how they sleep – but that’s their problem.

Remember there is always more than the crud you’re faced with.  Always.

Look up.  Look forwards.  Look for the bigger picture.  It is undoubtably lit up more kindly than the dark you feel around you.

breathe, nature, photo, waterfall

Beautiful morning.

7:00 Great walking. A bit of slipping in the mud. A careful eye on the uneven ground in front. A thud from a low hanging branch. A bit of laughing. A leach caught before it’s dastardly act. A dramatic re-enactment of it’s woeful attempt to do evil. More laughing. Silence at the waterfall. A bit of sweat and puffing on the walk back up.

8:00 Terrific start to the day.

breathe, calm, centre, Jedi, perspective

20120131-205218.jpg

I’ve been thinking about perspective…

If you consider the individual parts that make up an adult life are:-
> work – the what, the where, the who (oh my goodness!), the rules, quirks and the whhyyyyyy
> home – the where and the how of living the life you choose
> people – I’m not gonna lie, I am the sanest person amongst my family and friends 🙂 and
> ‘things’ – whatcha got, what’s busted, what works and what I want
then these four areas in my life are all on the move at the moment. Not exactly teetering (not yet), just wobbling a bit.

I feel the need to fix everything – to sort situations out then and there. All gunho and doin’ the stuff. I think most adults do. In watching others deal with the odd curve ball, I try to emulate how they stay grounded and focussed – to not get wound up or beaten down.

So, I’ve begun my very own Jedi mindtrick – telling myself to breathe. Consciously, deliberately, drop my shoulders down and B R E A T H E. Maybe by the end of my 366, I’ll have figured out how to manage it without so much effort…or I’ll have lost my marbles trying.
