Rise at 6:40 and struggle through morning routines. Somewhat refreshed after a shower, so I can begin the day clearly. Pick tomatoes to bring to work and head off after a kiss. In for a 9:00 meeting for an urgent project that doesn't quite seem as urgent. We are still ready, and will move forward. Some last minute updates to the team operating plan for review today, then off to lunch. Only a few of us today, so a bit quiet, but talking about things that on the surface seem to be very wrong (the phrase "that offends me" came up often), but the reality is that this is simply our perception and experience reacting to something. A key question: can we manage this and really respond to the things that actually affect us? Does a food service person with a tongue ring actually affect anything, or are you just being offended to get a reaction?
An e-mail sent to the HR person regarding my separation information. He's not in until next week, so I'll have to wait until then. My paperwork needs to be in by the 11th or so, and I'll need some things answered before then. A conversation with a manager who is moving to a divested portion of the company as of Saturday. He's getting pulled around and is generally getting screwed by this whole thing. Additionally, he has been ahead of the game in dealing with the transition for his employees, but is now being told he's being uncooperative. It's sad, really, how the large corporate organism can treat people and get away with it.
After lunch, more light office work, and some searching on the web for further information on the enneagram and the inner lines. Royalston was the second time Curt has gone through the inner relationships with the "labels" - visualization, actualization, etc. - and I still don't remember them all. An e-mail is in order. I notice that most enneagram related sites are of the Personality System sort, not much really on process. There's also more out there regarding the enneagram and Myers-Briggs and the Church, and the particular "risks" of using the symbol with its occultic origins. Fascinating reading, really.
After all this, I take the laptop outside to the picnic tables. No sense in wasting a beautiful day! Backposting notes, memories and menus from Royalston up through 8/14, then time to go home.

Home and a decision made to go to Margarita's - someone needs one. Eat a bit lighter than usual, but do indulge in a mixed tequila drink. Home and some play on the computer, then to bed.
