I QUIT!

I quit!  I am announcing the office project is now completed.  When I first proposed this project, however, it had a number of steps (by the way - I first put this on my "to do" list more than a year ago).  So, how did I manage to bring the project to an end?  Easy - I changed the project definition.

Not fair you suggest.  Because it is my task list, I determine what is fair about it.  This is the only method by which progress can be made.  Besides, the few incomplete items have now survived as standalone items on the Outlook Task list.  The deadline for them is prior to the end of this month.  I hope I can keep the momentum going.

Meanwhile, I think I will take a few minutes (days) and enjoy the fruits of my labors.  The most recent accomplishment was the organization of the files from the various races I have participated in since the early 1990s.  Coupled with the paper file organization, I have entered relevant statistics in a spreadsheet so I can measure my progress (or lack thereof) through the years.  I have concluded that I have leveled off to a consistent pace (at least during the more recent attempts).  [NOTE:  If I have not mentioned this recently, dear readers, I really dislike the upgrades to the software for this Blog.  It doesn't provide appropriate spacing and will not complete my much needed "spell check" function,]

Now back to my "normal" activities - cleaning the house, letting cats in and out, and searching for job leads.  I hope to even submit resumes this week as well. 

Finally, the tone of the Blog might change in the near future.  Today is the "official" start to the training season for the Indy Mini (which will be held on May 8th).  After walking with neighbors (outside mine you) for the past 5 days, they will not be able to amble the local road for the foreseeable future (too many trips planned to Decatur).  That said, it looks like I will become reacquainted with my treadmill.  My victories will be posted.

"You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away and know when to run

You never count your money, when you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done

Every gambler knows that the secret to survive is

Knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep

'Cos every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser"
