Those of you that have been keeping up with me on social media may understand that while I have been relatively silent on the blogging front I have actually been quite busy. Between work on my Dad’ ukulele project (almost done with the finishing!), the demands of parenting, and my day job are adding up to not much free time to plunk away at the keyboard.
Things at the office have been carrying on to a crescendo in recent months, with responsibilities mounting and actual empowerment waning. I’m struggling to find a perspective where I actually feel valued right now. Instead of moping (beyond the obvious exception on Friday afternoon) I have taken to educating myself in such a way to ensure that I don’t end up “motivating” people in this same way. I’ve been reading up on how to inspire people in the same fashion that Winston Churchill did, and various leadership blogs. My current situation may be less-than-ideal, however I will win the day with patience and self-improvement.
All of that unpleasantness aside, I am finding ways to relax. My in-laws visited and my father-in-law and I had a nice bonding experience while cleaning my garage. He had some great ideas about getting more utility and space out of my workshop set-up, and I’m happy to say that we got a lot accomplished. He says that next year he’ll come back and help me wire more outlets and shop lights out there so I can get even more use out of it.
That’s all for now, hopefully it won’t be weeks between updates from here on out.
