Challenges

I'm engaged in a Fitbit Workweek Hustle, and for the second week in a row it looks as if I'm going to finish in a pretty strong second place.  There's one day left, so it's possible that it might all fall apart. The person in first place is quite a competitor, and I find it irksome that I've fallen so far behind. Be that as it may, the competition and the challenge of the event has been good for me. It got me out of my rut, and I visited the Capitol for the first time in quite awhile on my morning ambulations.

Capitol Hill - Spring Morning

Spring changes things, and I'm glad I made it out this morning to see the sights. I was better prepared for the doubling of my duties that came later in the day. Wait...how's that again....I don't get the promotion, but I get twice the work for at least the next quarter or so?

Color me confused, but there it is...the path that the universe has laid at my feet. I suppose there's really only one thing left to do with this situation, and that's to keep moving forward. Fuck these guys. I'm planning to bury them in success. 

I love a good challenge, and the upside of this one is that it would be difficult to make matters worse than they have already become. Tomorrow we lose two more folks out of a department of nine. That's on top of the two we lost earlier this year with no replacements on the horizon. I find myself in charge of production on two shipbuilding programs with five (including me) of nine staff remaining. Like I said, I love a good challenge. Time to work the problem.

There's no telling what tomorrow may hold, but I pretty certain it won't be boring.
