misty fog
one of my favorite parts of riding to work most days is experiencing the weather. as i've gotten older, i 'forget' to notice the weather especially on those days where the most you are outside is the walk from the car to work. this morning was no exception. at our house, there was a little filtered sun. robin called to tell me it was super foggy and i thought 'no way.' just over the high point hill i dropped into a thick soupy fog that got thicker as i headed towards middleton. it's funny how there are these little geographical features that can change the weather from one mile to the next.
anyway, it's friday. another grind it out work week. if it weren't for my family and being able to ride, i'm not sure how i could bear this day after day. i mean, is this it? i still think about finding a niche in which i could operate my own small business. i know it isn't easy work and there is a lot of inherent risk that i'm not currently exposed to but everything you put in you potentially get back. and even if it fails if you are smart you come out ahead with tax implications, etc. i am getting minimal back from what i put in here at work...too many stakeholders. clients, upper management, 'support' groups, quality assurance, analysts - everyone wants a piece of it and want to dictate how things are done. i am this gatekeeper of sorts - coordinating all these efforts (essentially i'm a cat herder) to make millions of dollars in revenue for my company. i understand that this is how large companies make money - i don't fault my company for it. but i feel like i could do much more. of course, i would have to actually do something about it instead of speaking to it.
where was i? oh yea, it's friday.
happy friday.
