Smorgasborg

It is appropriate that, when seeking to describe the offering of a veritable buffet of thought provoking tidbits, I would come up with a food related title. I haven't ever given the word smorgasborg much thought and I have to admit it kind of makes me smile. Yesterday, the word executable had nearly the same effect. Wow, I must be really comedy deprived. (I watched the movie "Licenced to Wed" last night and that certainly didn't do it for me...YAWN!)


Familyfriendsconnect readership has recently doubled (that is, two people told me that they read regularly.)


At work I am focused on Budgets and Brazil and then a bunch of smaller projects. The budgets are due Monday. I enjoy creating speadsheets from the financial reports. As with so many things it would be easier to keep the reports current than do the mad dash at the end but, isn't it an Olympic summer? The Brazil trip is October 6 -20. This is a large team (12) and visa applications need to go to the consulate this week. I have referred to myself in the past as an "Interruptions Manager" but I don't like what that term implies. I never want those I serve to feel like they are interrupting. Perhaps "Work Flow Engineer" would be a better title. For me, one undeniable key to success is to keep all notes in one place. That place is my desk calendar.



OK, Goal report:

I'll do more tonight.
