Off to a slow start

OK - Once I started this two months ago, I began to think how ego-centric it is to keep a blog just for myself - and so I didn't post anything else. Then last night I was reading a book where the main character was trying to recount what happened over the past four years. He said to think about it - how many conversations can YOU remember from the past four years and I thought "Hummmmm. Good point. I can't remember a conversation from YESTERDAY." And so I decided that this would be my place to record at least one conversation that I have each day.

So today - Well, what counts as conversation? I got up, got ready, at breakfast and left for work all alone. My first words of the day were to Grace when we walked in the building together. I don't remember what we talked about though. That would have been something good to recount. My day was filled with a bunch of non-conversation talking. I asked April to pick up lunch for me. OH! OK - Suzanne and I had a conversation about a woman who works with us - and if we had interviewed her for our team before. We got into a philosophical angle when we compared the difference between hireing internally or externally for an HR position. Then at the end of the day we talked about how annoying it is to be invited to a work party and feel obligated to go. Especially when the invitation comes in the form of "What day would be good for you?" No polite way to get out of that!!!
