Irregular comments, noticings, and perhaps the occasional observation.

28 June 2007 (Thursday)

Rise later than normal, but normal morning routines. Spend the morning working on more financial numbers and getting a statement of work approved. Caught myself getting irritated at my manager, but took a step back and saw that I was being unreasonable - I had expected that he would have the time to have read through an e-mail thread. Resent the relevant information, and off we go. Other than that, a fairly mild day, and somewhat of a struggle to stay engaged. I'm feeling the pull away from here, and a part of me is hoping to be let go. I'm just not feeling as if I'm contributing anything valuable for the long-term.

A quick run out at lunch to purchase necessary gear for my basic rider's course. Relatively painless, with very knowledgeable and pleasant sales people.

BRC in the evening - a total of three hours covering written material, videos and motorcycle descriptions and functions. All very interesting, and quite frankly, a little intimidating. I've never ridden, so I'm intimidated by the physical coordination required. I thought about this a little on the way home and observed how I drove my car. The coordination involved here is different, but still challenging if you were new at it. So, I think I can handle this.

Home to dinner and the new Rush DVD Snakes and Arrows. Damn.
