What a nice day it is today. The weather is great, and I'm in a great mood. I just got back from lunch with the girl I met a couple weeks ago, and it was a nice time. First, she was 20 mins late, but instead of worrying about that, I was enjoying the weather and watching the people go by. At least she phoned saying she was having a problem finding a carpark. So she turns up wearing a short skirt, and looking very nice. We went to lunch at the same food place we went to last time (mental note: choose somewhere different next time), and she was a lot more comfortable this time around. Flirting was still high on the agenda, and she ended up getting me to feel how strong the muscles in her legs were. Uh huh.
I've been reading about Taoism tonight, and thinking about my attitude towards life. In order to follow 'the way of Tao', I'm letting it all go.
Politics. News. Right or wrong.
What I feel or say doesn't matter to how things are going to be. It will be the way it is regardless of my feelings about it.
I've just deleted all my bookmarks that lead to politically-oriented news or news commentary websites that are trying to present their version of right and wrong.
The Client Relationship Manager role is moving along nicely. I'm designing it, defining it, and will be doing it. It's also going to involve travel and incentive bonuses based on increased revenue. Woohoo!
It's an exciting feeling to be creating my own management job in one of the largest companies in the country. Wow.
1) I'm working on creating a new role at work. I've seen a need in the company for a Client Relationship Manager, someone who attends to the happiness of the client above and beyond just getting money out of them. I've approached my managers with this perception of how to add value to what we offer our clients, and coincidentally (Hah! No such thing as coincidences! "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.") they've been talking amongst themselves about exactly that. So they talk about it, and then I come along and tell them how I see a need in the company, and I know of how to 'fix it'.
I'm depressed that George Bush won the US election.
I'm depressed that he won not only the popular vote, but also the electoral vote.
I'm depressed that the people of America, in their stupidity and ignorance, voted for a man who says they'll be safer with him.
I'm depressed that they were safe until he came into power. All the problems of American 'internal security' began with him.
I'm depressed that the Republicans now control the Senate, the House, and the Presidency, because now they don't need to appease the Democracts - they can simply do what they like.
