Seit dieser Woche besitze ich endlich wieder eine Uhr. Ich habe mich - zur Motivation für mehr Aktivitäten - für eine #Garmin #Instinct 2 entschieden.
Nach zwei Testtagen ohne #Smartphone-Verbindung hatte ich jetzt auch zwei Tage mit Smartphone-Verbindung (mit Garmin Connect App).
Interessehalber habe ich auch die Garmin IQ-App installiert und wollte ein neues Datenfeld auf die Uhr laden.

I'm not going to take offence.

Our instinct preaches us "survival of the fittest". This (short time) us-them "thinking" instructs us to kill the enemy first and to reject anything that may distract from that primary goal. (Looking far back in time, I don't know whether this was "a good idea", but here we are).

Fortunately, most humans were also blessed with the ability to *reason*. It may require *a lot* of effort, but using that mechanism one may *overrule* their instinctive compulsive behavior.

Reasoning means, among a lot of things, looking back (into history) and predict the consequences of what you're up to. And to at least temporarily remove your blinders so that you can actually *listen* to people, at least to those with moderate points of view.

Please consider that, because you feel extreme pain, your instinct does its best to prevent you from reasoning. All I ask is to give the matter actual *thoughts*.

Inside the Red Head's Head

The last post talked about trusting my instincts. A big part of me is wishing I hadn’t written that because for most of this morning my instinct has been telling me that today is going to be a really shitty day.

Why?

I don’t know.

It’s the day before Thanksgiving and I am working in the office. The office alone sort of points to a bad day, but it’s more than that. In the United States, the day before Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest travel day of the year. Everyone in the country hits the road on this day each year. I expected my morning commute to be an absolute nightmare. Add to the expected gridlock that it was pouring rain outside and it would be safe to assume that the traffic would be a gridlocked nightmare times 10. Nope. There was no traffic at all. Everyone drove a little slower than the speed limit thanks to the rain, but I never had to hit the breaks once over the entire 40-something mile drive. You would think that would ease my sense of impending doom, but nope. Somehow it made it worse.

Today should be a quiet day at work. If the office is anything to go by, it’s dead as can be here. I only see two other people and they both work for me. Weird. I should be feeling optimistic and excited about the coming holiday weekend, but instead I am just dreading everything. Once I get home tonight and see my beloved bride again, I will start feeling really good about the weekend, but until then?

It’s going to be a long, sucky, painful day.

"Many #workers who survive #company cuts have the #instinct to #flee to other #jobs – and often do.

In an economic environment of widespread layoffs and company downsizing, many employees are holding tight to their positions. Yet, according to some experts, these cuts may create a surprising domino effect – driving some remaining workers to voluntarily quit their jobs[…]"
