Work getting in the way of O'...sort of.
I hate when work gets in the way of my training plans.
Instead of training tonight, I'll do some laundry and packing for a work trip. I don't have time to pack tomorrow morning because I've got to be at an 8:00 a.m. meeting (the Mayor's "ServiceFirst" meeting...ho hum). I hate when work gets in the way of my training.
I was reading something Emma Engstrand wrote about training for O' when she was a student. Here is what she said, "I never miss classes in order to train, but , I never skip training in order to study."
I hate missing training because of work.
Of course, work has some advantages. Like the trip I'm going on will take me out to Lake Tahoe where I'll be able to do some O' sessions on the map from a couple of years ago. It'll be an expenses paid trip for O' practices (plus going to an auditing conference)!
Not that I'm complaining about having a job and earning money, but it sure was a lot easier to train when I was a student.
