I admit, I’m not that great at managing other people. I don’t like forcing people to do things. Not just to “go the extra mile” but to “just finish your damn work already.” It’s kind of ironic that on my second day of being in a management course I’m already sucking at managing myself. Because my managing of other people is causing a huge time suck on me.

Not to worry, I still have another 14 weeks before this is actually an issue. Or less. Probably less.

Obama won. Last time I checked. Which does affect my life despite my non-US abode.  But I think, also, his victory is just prolonging the inevitable. Whatever the inevitable is. At least he’s charasmatic. A McCain victory would have “gotten the US over with” as I heard someone so elloquently put it. I thought that was pretty harsh.

Time to watch Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert from last night. I’ll pretend I don’t know the results of the election and then act real surprised-like tomorrow when I watch today’s episodes. The element of acting surprised is a great management tool, I think.

School is hard! Even online school is hard! So much information. Too much information. All common sense… that you have to memorize.

This totally counts as an update. It’s more characters than a twitter post.

I sort of missed the first day, and I’ll probably miss a few more, but I will make an effort to be consistent for a change.

This weekend was fun. We played Wii Fit, Little Big Planet, I did some mediumship at a tea thinger on Saturday, went out for dinner with some friends afterward, and today I went to see Religulous with the same group. There’s probably nothing original I can say about the movie and I’ll be the first to admit that doing mediumship on one day and going to see Religulous seems contradictory. It isn’t. I don’t know any more about the universe than Bill Maher does. Religion is a hard sell for me. Not because the stories don’t make sense, are full of “miracles”, are based on even older mythologies that reject even though the stories are virtually identical… Ok. Maybe those are the reasons. All I know is that I have the spooky power of being able to tell people exactly what their dead relatives look like, and act like, and did for a living and that the information is coming from somewhere. I could be really, really good at reading people OR I can have conversations with dead people. One or the other. I’m open to input. The second thing that I know about that is it doesn’t matter whether I’m religious or not. Those abilities are just there… so long as I stay sane. The second insecurity, mental exhaustion, or anxiety creeps in. Forget it. Religulous is an awesome movie and people should see it. I wish it had been around when I was a kid. I wish I could force my parents to watch it.

The end.
