jdmkleinHmm Hmm Hmm, it's going pretty good this week. i'm getting pretty good at manipulating people. i don't mean that in a bad way. K went to P and J after the meeting yesterday and complained about wanting everyone to do his/her fair share of the work for the new book. P and J came to me to explain what happened, and ask me to work it out with K. i went to talk with her. i asked her to think about what she wanted to do for the book, and gave her some alternatives, which were completely workable for all if she chose one of them. i asked her to think about it and let me know as soon as she could. she said today, i said tomorrow is soon enough. She came into my office about 1:30 this afternoon and said she would do what was originally assigned to her.
Now that i think about it, it really isn't manipulation, it's more about presentation. i'm learning how to present ideas to different people to make the ideas attractive to them. i'm learning how to read people, to understand what they need to feel to get what i want. That sounds so cold. A bit conniving. But it isn't. i suppose i could use it to my advantage to divide the group against each other if ever something didn't go my way, but i'd like to think i'm bigger than that. i know my ideas come slow, and i know that i work better in a room that warms up because everyone's brain is cooking with creativity. In the end, this whole project comes down on my shoulders. i'd like to think i'm intelligent enough to know that it's the people i work with who will make it a success or failure. If they won't work with me, i will have a much more difficult time. Anyway, K is going to do the work she was assigned and she feels it was her choice. Everyone is happy.
Master is down at the computer shop. He's getting His new computer. i'm amazed He took this long to get it. Now i suppose all i'll hear for the next week is how His computer is 'newer' than mine. He is such a tease. We will get the lan connected and both be able to use the dsl line at the same time. He said that next month there will be a company in Fahaheel that will offer a cable connection.That's what He has been waiting for. He is such a guy.
i 've had a headache all day today. i thought it went away when i drank a coke, but it didn't. It's not a migraine, it just won't go away. Stoopid headache.
Master is back. And He brought dessert! And it's before 7:00! Sometimes life is just too good. And How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is on the MGM channel. A root beer float! How cool! He knows how to trip my trigger that's for sure.
Tonight the iron isn't calling. IBC root beer is.
