I'm having one of those weeks when I only realize how tired I am when I sit down in the evenings. I'm hoping I can make it through TGIF without dozing off- if there is any incoherence, you know what happened.
Today I am trusting that today was the first of two weeks of relatively smooth, efficient days on clinical service. In spite of starting the morning in a bit of a sourpuss mood, the day came together just fine.
Today I am grateful for wonderful friends and random acts of whimsy. A phone call from Arizona this afternoon lit up my day. I'm also grateful for snowstorms and Kita-dog (the two are a bit inseparable).
Today I am inspired by this comment from Whitney Johnson (if you don't know who she is, I recommend that you find out- she's brilliant). Many of you have heard me whine/ kvetch/ complain about feeling undervalued at work by those in positions of leadership (at least in my department). I'm particularly fond of #3 on her list, that the cloak of invisibility lets disruptive innovation occur without interference. I'm realizing that is EXACTLY why I get away with so many of the things that I do that are creative and different, particularly in education and research. Maybe this isn't such a bad deal after all...
Now listening: Epic by Calexico (NB: Algiers is my October album pick. It's amazing.)Labels: TGIF
