As you may have been able to tell, my laptop's hard drive crashed this week. Therefore, I'm glad we didn't proceed with the original plan to disconnect the old desktop from the Internet!
In the game of respect and keeping one's mouth shut at the right times, I broke even as far as I know. On one hand, I recall at least twice when I made a less-than-supportive comment about a non-present co-worker, which of late has been vice #1. But later in the week, given two more opportunities to help fuel a similarly negative conversation, I kept tight.
Life's been rolling though. The weather's been summer fabulous. The boss and the direct reports have been doing well, even in the face of a sudden and time-sensitive project. In fact, there was a motivating sequence on Thursday when I got a message indicating that some of our employees were interested in doing some new projects, and later that day a perfect opportunity to pitch in on a department-wide five-alarm theoretical fire appeared.
