🤒 as sick 🤫

as my secrets. last night, after being arrogant at work, believing i **knew** something, my attitudes came home to roost and one of my team mates had to clean up one of the biggest messes i have ever made. before i dive into this, i certainly am going to sneak out and get my workout in. i will be back in an hour.
well, i am back and getting a phone call from an addict that was dog piled on the other day, trying to help them find a way to deal with the personalities, for one reason or another. my not so sage advice is do not give the bastards any ammunition. what they were accused of, is something that i myself am guilty of and taking my own advice in this instance, is not a bad thing: STOP TRYING TO DO TWO THINGS AT ONCE, EVEN WHEN I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO! my secret is that in ZOOM meetings i am often working and dealing with external stuff and attempting to be present for what is happening. the secret is, i am not doing either very well. right here and right now, i will resolve to separate work time from my other tasks, which means that i need to wrap this up and concentrate on work.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
1) He who devotes himself to learning (seeks) from day to day to increase
(his knowledge); he who devotes himself to the Tao (seeks) from day
to day to diminish (his doing).
