The week moved pretty quickly. Because of the nuances of the holiday and my 9/80 schedule it was a three day work week, which was very nice. It also helped that, at work, the load was light since so many people were out on vacation. In the aftermath of the project, I can feel myself relaxing. My subconscious has been spinning, throwing up strange dream images each and every night, most of which are directly related back to work. There will be plenty of headaches in the months to come - but it does appear as if there will be plenty of work. My boss is going to be hiring another analyst and today, in our one on one, she assigned me two more projects.
In some ways, this is one of the challenges I face at work. I am particularly good at taking projects that are tangled up and troubles and getting them straightened out and back on track - mostly through the process of simply lining things up and then executing with discipline. So, naturally, two of the projects that are being assigned to me are projects that have been running - in both cases for several years, and have never been effective. One has had their go-live delayed for over a year and the other went live, but with a pale shadow of the promise of the program. So, my immediate future will be working to get my brain around them and then get them moving forward again.
In the Corporate Game of Thrones, the investigation into my complaint continues - on average, they say it takes about thirty-five days to complete the investigation portion - so that means that portion of it should wrap up in late June. I am perfectly fine with that - as far as karma goes, my responsibility is to report the behavior. What happens from that point is up to them.
Things are going a well as can be expected with my aging parents and my sick nephew. Life continues at it's own pace along with all those other things we cannot control and can barely influence. But, smooth is good, so I am going with that. The process of aging is an ordinary thing and is part of life that we are all going to experience, sooner or later. The best we can do is make that trip as gracefully as we can.
Other than that, I am slowly healing from my separation, which is also part of the process of life. Now that I think about it, life is always a process of adjustment or readjustment and learning to not be attached to outcomes is so crucial. Be in the moment and when the moment goes away, be in the moment. So, in that sense, I am going to settle into the moment and watch some Archer, then curl back up with Leviathan Wakes.
