It's Another Day

Finally we are at the end of a four-day storm and the sun did come out tonight. I have been slowly slowing down with my work and not getting up earlier to go over file upon files prior to going into work. It's time to start doing that I feel. Mean while I am still awaiting the decision with this one position. Yes I am interested to see what takes place.

Within my work, I have finally brought all things together for the most part. Within the infrastructure of the office as it was all let go so within a short period of time I have have had much on my hand. All in all it really all goes back to one year of a situation where there has been no back up with some of the most basic and necessary things. Some companies expect one to do things by osmosis, but a valid company knows what good organized management is. ANYWAYS, I stepped out during lunchtime and got some old style chronological files. I don't have the picture of what I mean but I will have copies made for everything that takes place during the week and as well I have one of those calendars that site on your desk. It took me most of the afternoon to put into place and finally one day I did not have so many calls coming in and I had more time to get things organized and as well talk with a few people.

It's almost like being a major of a city. You can't please everyone. All you can do is show respect to the people. And build on that. You have your company to please as well as the people that are your tenants - but you don't get lost within it as so many do. And there can be politics if you allow the politics to happen. The best manner when going into a company is to just watch, listen, and do your work the best that you can. Then slowly bring about changes by way of good protocol, or just good management. When there is some structure set up it works much easier and it works to it's optimum of what it can. When and if it can be done. Again an ideal - but one that does make sense. As well it builds on business and that requires many different ingredients.

But it's finesse in managing people most importantly knowing when to talk and when to listen.

Then after work returning home - this one killed me. Or took me way by surprise. (not fiction)   I am walking into my complex where I reside and there is this gal that approaches me and indicates while I am getting my mail that she has watched me for the past few days.  She wasnt pushy, nor real young, but a good looking person and had some poise in how she handled herself.

As we introduced each other she asked me what I did, I told her and then she asked if I watch much television. Which I don't all that much but she was getting to something. I was getting my mail and looking forward to a hot shower to be honest.  She asked me if I ever watch television as I was getting as she was waiting for something to be delivered I guess, and I said yes. She said that I remind her of some one. Now this has happened before offline and so often I think it may have something to do with the voice.  She said no that I remind her so much of this character of Horatio Caine. I knew who she was meaning right away. As for how I felt at the end of the day I really dont think that I was all that interested and I told her that I had recently had five teeth done and was just getting over the aftermath pain associated with it. ( Real good there Jacko!)

Then she extender her hand out and introduced herself formally and said that if I ever need any sugar - feel free to not be a stranger. Now I got in the door and after when I did I just smiled, actually laughed a bit as I have never had that done in such a manner as that. She was not no fluezy, she was doing something obvious, I picked up on it and thanked her and said I certainly would. I got in closed the door leaned up against it while I slipped off my shoes and dropped my work bag. And I smiled. I guess I know where to get sugar when and if necessary. But that is certainly the first time that has happened to me. I am not phobic to women, I just have not really thought much about romance.

Anyhow it was just another day - with the tail end of it having a something that was rather sweet.

  1. G'day Jack,
    Would appear that all is settling nicely into place for you at work & the homefront, has been a while since I have heard the "cup of sugar" approach, but still a nice way to get to know the new bachelor neighbour...lol

  2. There you go Jack, welcome to the new millenium!!! LOL Amazing what women are capable of doing these days. "Cup of sugar", I'll put it on my list (just kidding). I don't know if I could do that.

  3. That sure was sweet. Somehow, it is kind of uplifting and it leaves you with a good momentum to feel someone is interested in who you are. That is very human. A little romance goes a long way to make someone forget about the daily grind. Nice picture by the way, time to watch nature`s blossom.

  4. If that meeting left a smile on your face and the woman was not obtrusive, it was worthy of enduring it, wasn't it? :-) Such moment makes a day!

    PS The picture is beautiful, it invokes a vision of a new beginning...

  5. If I am not mistaken, Horatio is the character on CSI Miami, yes?The lady sounds both cute and sweet. No wonder you were smiling!
    I love your choice of picture for after storms' end.

  6. Sounds like you are a bit shy that she approached you. Sounds like she was giving you a compliment and possibly wanted to know you better. Something to smile about.

  7. Be honest with you it seems like something that a fluezy would say. But regardless, it was a nice way to end the day.

  8. Yes, and really nothing more just the pleasantness of it. It was sweet. The picture is not of my own - but I like it as it represented and uncovering and beginning of spring - from my vantage.

  9. Small moments that make just happen yes. Regardless it's all within the capture of the day. Petra exactly my thoughts with the picture.

  10. Wow this picture is rather neat isnt it. It says something! Yeah he is some character - the lead in CSI Miami, I find that in no manner do I look like nor sound like him. I am me, but it was all sweet and in good taste. But I have not taken up the opportunity and probably won't as there is not enough time right now and I don't jump into things. That is me.

  11. Yes on an intimate level I am shy, in a formal level I am much different but it told me something. It told me to just think and know that I can get on with my life even in the areas of the dynamics of love. But I am conservative in that area - probably more so than many, but I guess this is much on growth and life.

  12. G'day Jack,
    if you are referring to my words (bachelor neighbour) I was meaning the lady approaching you, you being her new bachelor neighbour,
