pSuch a long day. Again -- someone dropped the ball and it appeared like I didn't cover all the details for a project I was working on. Can I just get it right the first time? Honestly, I don't know. The thing that concerns me most of all about today is a dear friend, struggling with the "appearance" of something as well. It seemed to highlight my even feelings about what it seems is happening, and what is. If it feels like the truth you once grasped is slipping through your fingers...The fact that you are in love, or maybe you have a strong tennis forehand, or a ballet pirouette mastered, and then one day, it seems like the thing you once were so sure of...You're not so certain any longer. It appears that you're in love, it may appear that you still know how to "bend" the soccer ball toward the goal, hit a strong forehand cross-court, but when it comes down to it, you lack the fire or the intensity to really pull it off as a truth. The perception is not the reality. As I finish this, it doesn't feel like I'm making any sense, but I'm more and more grasping just how finite our feelings or images of truth is. I think one's intentions are more important (i.e. If you have the motivation to "bend" the soccer ball, you can do it nine times out of ten --granted you are a decent soccer player. But -- If you don't have the motivation to "bend", you will not "bend" the soccer ball into the goal-- despite the fact that we've noted you are a decent soccer player.)
Sigh. At least I understand what I'm talking about. (Ask me some other time. I'm very tired right now.)

Tennis & Hulabaloo at The Office
Lots to do. Lots to do. So little time to do it in. I skipped lunch so I'd have enough time to go home and relax perhaps before tennis practice today. No can do. Our event is on Wednesday (two-day reseller/customer event) and I have to still create a flight manifest for all our arriving customers, make an evaluation and print copies for our event, scan any correspondence from our vendors to ensure there are no catastrophies I can avoid before the trip, etc. Sometimes I wish my manager would step in a little, but then again, I want this. I want to do the managing of this new campaign on my own (This marketing jargon may have you wimpering at your home computer --why, oh why must she use those terms -- what on Earth is she talking about?!) . What I hate most is that she refuses to step in help when she says she's going to. Ah, the joy of it all. Heigh-ho, It is off to practice I go. finally. End.
