"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

Lost On The Way To Work
I am always fascinated by the territory of dreams. This weekend was no excuse. I had a dream about trying to get into my office and in the dream I was having to make my way through all kinds of construction sites and detours, some of which were incorrect. Once again, it is an apt metaphor for the working environment. I've said that one of the more significant challenges at work is that no one really seems to know who is responsible for what. It is something I am hoping we manage to overcome in the next year.
