Back in the real world

Three days away at a conference - interesting, challenging and all the rest of it. Then home and Father's Day yesterday, and a really enjoyable day. I was sitting in Mass yesterday morning thinking how renewed and re-invigorated I felt. Out walking this morning and running ideas through my mind for this afternoon's staff meeting - jumping right in, no cooling off period.

Then the realities this morning, as people start ringing in sick, and providing excuses and making other people's lives more difficult - not mine here I might add, but I know of at least two other people who are not going to be happy campers when they hear what's going on.

The greatest impediment to innovation and clear thinking is dealing with the detritus of other people's issues.
