Exercise #724: Self Knowledge
Posted 8/18/17
There’s an off-site “rah-rah” party for work next week. Most of a day, spent out of the office, doing various fun team-building stuff.
Luckily, this time there isn’t room for everyone so we have to sign up to go. I’m so old-school. A fuddy-duddy. I still think work means work and when I spend all day getting paid to do work for someone else, I expect to . . . well, work. Not party. And honestly? I don’t have any desire to party with most of the folks in my office. I don’t even know a lot of them.
Which is, perhaps, the point.
