Well, the good news is that Sheryl’s come through her surgery and is now at home recovering. She should be “back to the grind” from Monday, I guess. The bad news is that they couldn’t remove her appendix because of some internal complication and infection. This was cleaned out thoroughly and they’ll review her case again after 3 months when, if the appendix is still infected, they’ll perform the “true” appendectomy!
As for me, my life reminds me of the old saying which ends, “… some folks have greatness thrust upon them.” Well at work, I constantly find things being thrust on me and – not wanting to appear incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial – I agree to try my hand. Right now, I’m one of the video-graphers, video-editors, presentation-makers and, though I have some skills in all three, I feel this is not entirely what I’m cut out to be. I would prefer to contribute more in terms of thinking, strategies, guiding, training … rather than physically doing things. I feel I’ve outgrown the doing stage. Ahh well, ce la vie, ce la vie!
So now I’m off to a video-shoot. This should be followed by an all-night editing session to home on my time (sigh) and then building the edited clips into our presentation. On Tuesday, another similar session is threatened. Will try to continue the saga…
