Uselessness
December 19th, 2008
Did you ever feel like your day was completely useless? Maybe you spent two hours chasing down a bug which someone else solved properly in a few minutes. Maybe you joined meetings and had conversations without feeling to be able to add anything really useful to them, to suprise and to make people smile. And then maybe you have been hoping for an easy chance to fill that emptiness, something hanging so low that even in that complete lack of energy you would be able to catch.
Well, maybe that’s today for me. And maybe I should stop waiting for that chance and just wait for tomorrow.
Clearly, you need to go ask me in #sugar for something to do, I have lots of cool stuff for you to work on! :p
…yeah, I know the feeling.
Marco, for the record, I’ve never had a conversation with you that didn’t make my day better in some way – I should tell you more often how much you make me smile. (You do.)
Sometimes things that look useless to you now were actually super-productive for someone else in a way you just didn’t get to see, or lay the ground for future Total Awesomeness that will pop up unexpectedly later on. That’s what I tell myself, anyway.
