Today was a tiring day.
Half of my division had a meeting downtown, so instead of the drive to the west end, I had to find a way to the center of the city. To take my car would have cost a lot in parking, so I took the bus. From Whyte Avenue to Jasper was fairly easy. And since it was a beautiful day, I walked the rest of the way, eight blocks.
After the meeting I thought it was still nice enough out, so I ignored the bus and took 40 minutes to walk home. Which has left me rather tired.
If my division ever moves to the downtown office though, walking/running will be a very viable way to get to and from work.
The meeting was an orientation on our new corporate overlords and how to use all the resources at our disposal. It was interesting. We are now personally responsible for our career paths, but we are also given tools to help with that.
They were also very behind the idea of goals. Lately I feel like I’ve been flapping in the wind. I have needed to find my own projects to keep me busy, because management is too occupied to tell me what they want me to do. The one thing I’ve been working on had been completely self-directed (no idea if anyone wants it), and I’m not feeling especially motivated. I’m going to try writing down some goals for it and see if that helps.
