A nice li&#8217;l mirror of my mood right now.<\/p>\n<p>Sunny: Had a great date night with Emily last night. I bought her flowers because I am awesome and she made me smile because she&#8217;s awesome too. The food was ok, but more than anything it was nice to be out and relaxing and enjoying being with eachother. It&#8217;s good to remember to do that from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>Rainy: Had my usual &#8220;bi-weekly&#8221; meeting this morning. I use the quotes because it has a nasty habit of getting cancelled, rescheuled, and doesn&#8217;t really seem beholden to it&#8217;s biweekly title. (for example, the next one &#8211; next week). I&#8217;m included in the meeting because I am supposedly a subject matter expert and a capital-R resource, but I sometimes feel as if the other attendees discount my value. It&#8217;s the type of environment where I don&#8217;t feel comfortable saying no or that something shouldn&#8217;t be done becase then I am not part of their imagined solution and thus &#8220;part of the problem&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>(that, by the way, is an exact quote from a company-wide email of days gone by. &#8216;if you&#8217;re not part of the solution, you&#8217;re part of the problem&#8217;. nice.)<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s my current weather forecast. A mix of clouds and sun. Overall though, the sun is out way more than the clouds.
