43 of 100 ... Non-Competitive in a Competition


Sometimes the corporate world baffles me ... they do some of the stupidest things!  We are having this competition at work ... the point?  to get points to win.  Why do it?  to change behavior? to kill trees? to do someone's job? because they don't think we have enough to do?  I suspect there is a legitimate reason but they have no clue what it is, much less communicate to us what it is!  My world used to revolve around "what's the objective?", "how are you going to do it?" and "did you achieve it?" ... and the joy of those -2s (non-academics who would not do a thing unless they personally saw the use in it!) ... if they don't see it, they don't do it.  Sometimes I think some of those who get the big bucks should do what I did, for the money I did it at, and get a real lesson in how to create a "competition" that works.  *sigh

Goal Advancement for today:  
H: As part of the competition, I decided to walk 20 min every lunch.  We really have no leader, so I'm going to lead myself.  I walked 20 min. today.  Misplaced my coffee, but I did walk! 
E: Cleaned my car out of boxes? blah
 (E-Environment, H:Health, F:Financial, PD: Prof/Personal Development, R: Relationships.) 
 
Gratitude:
1/ Today, I'm grateful for getting out to walk, even when no one joined me.  I wore my new runners and I took my time.  It was the first since the diagnosis, so it was a little tough.  But I went through with it! 
2/ Today, I'm grateful for throwing up before midnight. I hate doing it, but when I have to, good to do it before midnight, because then I can sleep until morning!
3/ Today, I'm grateful for my new clothes.  Nice to wear pants that fit well!
4/ Today, I'm grateful for it being a short week.  Parts of my work I enjoy, parts leave me frustrated ... but every time, I'm glad when I have a short week! 
5/ Today I'm grateful for thinking quickly on my feet - I did a HUGE oops and was able to get myself out of a potentially ugly situation by re-focusing on to something I genuinely wanted to know.  (I instant-messaged the wrong person at work and turned it into a request for information on what the future is for me.  Turned out really good!)
