Unintentional jerk-ish-ness

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ordered the Apple Watch at 3:01 EST on April 10. Apple sent a congratulatory email with the delivery date estimate of June. June 1 or June 30? Big difference. Plan on worst case scenario, June 30.

So when it arrived May 26, there was no need to rip the package open. Even though the Watch has few owners so far. Prestige is not a consideration.

Tried to have a little fun on Facebook with the box opening. It backfired. It took too long and my friends thought it was intentional and kinda jerk-ish.

The backs of the cards feature Hugh MacLeod’s inspiring cartoons

MOO business cards packaging
These were waiting in the mailbox when we got home from Epcot last night.

 

An amazing Graphic Designer has created my Disney speaking and consulting logo. The order for 1,000 business cards she created went out a few days ago.

In the spirit of Walt Disney, there was another thing i felt compelled to try.

After opening these last night, i submitted another order before going to bed, with two small teaks.

Fun.

Time is our ammunition for fighting against being poorly organized.

Time is our ammunition against excuses and regrets.

Time is our ammunition in recognizing second chances.

Time is our ammunition in gaining permission.

Any questions?

His office was nothing more than a wooden floor

Tibet Butler Nature Preserve Building
Lower right, sitting on the floor, was HQ for 40 minutes yesterday.

 

His office was nothing more than a wooden floor. No chair.

You can see exactly where in the photo above. He sat in the lower right corner, back against the display.

He could have postponed the run until after the 9am call with the CEO, but instead, he began walking, hoping it would turn into a long run.

It did. Ten miles, eventually.

But 20 minutes later, it was time to find a quiet place for the 30-minute call.

Five months of slow, sporadic conversations.

He was glad he could call from anywhere.

This is growth.

And freedom.

Organized to be partners, even in retirement

Inspirational Keynote speech near Disney
Jack the Bear is retired too, but still working.

 

Would have been easy to forget to take Jack the Teddy Bear on the short drive to work last week.

Would have been easy to say it doesn’t matter anymore, your son is a teenager now.

Getting organized is one thing. Staying that way is entirely another.

Live like you mean it.

In spite of it all.
