In my spare time, I like to read

I read an article in O magazine that talked about how people consider “timing.” They offered a little test to see how you feel about an actual issue: get a friend, hold out your arm and have the friend press on it, have them ask questions involving the issue and timing (will this get done in the next 5 years?), when you tell the truth, your arm will hold strong; when you lie, your arm will falter. She wrote on to say that to get in tune with your emotional timing, be “in the moment” and listen to your pulse. I’ve been pretty neutral about timing. Sometimes I’m on, sometimes, I’m not. But I do have that timing voice telling me something needs to get done, or telling me to be realistic about a situation. Currently, I’ve avoiding ordering more “December” cards at work. I know we need more. I knew we needed more last week. I have to do it today because I have jury duty tomorrow. But I’m afraid to because to order them, I would be making an executive decision. I’m not worried about making the decision, I’m worried I’ll be punished for making an executive decision. It’s not that I’m incapable of making an executive decision. It’s that I’m aware other people think I’m incapable.
Oh Politics.
As a side note, my new Performance Fleece from Old Navy is amazing. Worth the $15 it actually costs, even better that I only paid $5
