This Can’t Be Healthy
Note: Delayed post.
I had the first busy day of the season today, worked 10 hours straight. I’m exhausted and the weird thing is despite how very tired I am I feel pretty good.
Maybe I just needed some public speaking and hard work to snap me out of my recent ennui.
How sick would that be if it were true?
Maybe it’s just leaving work late. Something about walking the site in the evening when few people are around knowing you’ve made a difference. Worked hard, put in an honest day, maybe even surprised someone. Perhaps done what a lesser man wouldn’t have handled as well. Maybe it was just being able to make decisions that made many people’s lives easier.
As for the public speaking I found myself wishing I could conduct the whole session rather than just my 10 minute bit. I don’t wish to appear critical but standing at a podium reading a script isn’t very engaging. It’s never easy to go in front of crowd mind you, not for anyone, so I have no complaints - I just wonder if I couldn’t have given it a bit more life.
Wacky workaholic me.
We’ll, there are other training sessions on the horizon that I really get to sink my teeth into and make my own. I genuinely believe I make an impact there. There are precious few opportunities to make a difference than in the shaping of young minds - but I’ve blogged about that enough before. Look it up if you’re curious, I can point you to specific posts.
