I do not generally have a problem with being honest, so it was perhaps easier. Still, I did not quite cut off the babbling and I did not contrive to work as hard on my stuff, as I planned and did check things on the internet or converse with colleagues. I also had my massage during office hours. But I could actually tic off two days, that means: I did all I had planned and I only got points for two aspects.
Now we are going into Justice. Mr. Franklin wrote:
"Wrong none by doing injuries or omitting the benefitst hat are your duty."
How to translate that into todays life? I decided the following: I will see, that I meet up with my parents, since they haven't seen me a while (we do talk on the phone regularly though). It is not
easy to meet up with my parents, because they do get around a lot: tennis, Yoga, church activies,
meeting friends, hiking, sportsgroup and taking care of my younger nieces and nephews some time.
But I'll fight for a date. :-)
At work I will take care, that I reduce the Minus hours on my time account and see that I get done all the work, that gets people paid, what they are owed. I do not owe it personally, but as an employee, I am responsible for that part of what is owed. So it will be done.
That does sound easy, but it is not always as easy as that. Because, there is a lot of calculating to be done, never my strong point. And the time-minus-reduction isn't easy either. I loathe to leave my flat right now and so it is always a fight to get to work for a start. And then I want to get back as soon as may be. So I do not stay as long, as I ought to. I do know, it sounds weak and heartless and it is both, because a lot of people do not have work to go to and I am very lucky to have a good and steady job, where I can decide, when I start my workday. But somehow, with some things: when you get used to them, you take them for granted and don't appreciate them, as you ought.
At any rate: I am always trying to improve my attitude. It is not too late, I have about 23 years to go. I might get the hang of it before that... I am just a lazy bum. Sometimes I do think, my ideal life would be to have a lot of money, no strings attached an live in a cottage in Cornwall, with a housekeeper and a gardner and a good library in the cottage or nearby. :-) Since I have neither, I make do with my work. At least I meet nice people and learn something as well.
What sort of song would be befitting to this post? I have an idea, though I don't own the clip...
Well: I entered, Time is Cash, but there was either a german Pop Group, and not always would have understood the lyrics. Then there was a clip with a warning, that I didn't have the patience to watch through and thus didn't want to bore you with or frighten or anger or whatever.
What came out clear was: Johnny CASH wrote a lot of songs about TIME. Since one of my goals is to work off my Minus in time, I thought: DOING MY TIME would be appropriate...
I hope, you'll enjoy it. All the best and have a nice Sunday!
