Accuracy vs. Precision.

 Repeatable but unreliable. Correct but sloppy. Accurate yet imprecise. Well done, consistent just a bit off-target. I appreciate your consistent attention to detail. But why the hell are you focusing on those details?


What does it all mean? Not much. In the long run, I’m talking the big, long run, the run to end all runs. It won’t mean shit. It won’t make a difference. It won’t get you a gold star. It won’t get you an express VIP pass. It won’t be remembered by anyone, not even you. So why does it seem like such a big deal right now? Right here and now?

Where are you putting your energy, your focus, your aim? What’s your target, your intention, your goal? What’s important? What’s horseshit? Why?

Don’t know the answer. Don’t think there is a “correct” answer. Enjoy asking the question.

Yup.

today is my Friday.

Base told me this week that I deserved a gold star for my complete manifests. I remember when that was something to boast about. But even then I got the gold star. This time all I got was the intention. Thanks!

I'll tell Jo to look for some gold stars to have on hand. Would you rather get the gold star on your wrist, or would you like your name written in glue and glitter on a colored piece of poster board with a row of gold stars next to it?

I think a glitter board with rows of stars that everyone can see is the best idea. I want people to know that I can accomplish simple paperwork on a continuous basis. It's a skill I've been cultivating for some time now. The coffee card a couple months ago was nice though. Perhaps they could keep that up.

that's a good ad Sugarbear. And I appreciate your advice to "hate the game, don't hate the player." word.
