What pain at home

GoDaddy admin screen — The pain of being a sole proprietor. Everything is on you.

When you change your priorities for the better, you might think your change seems inspiring to others. Instead, it probably makes them uncomfortable because they are confronted with their own priorities.

Opposites, home

hand written note on post it — Ask senior leadership if they continually invest in training and development. Wait for their ‘no’. Then ask them, “Who communicates more about your brand than the way your front line interacts with your customers?”

i don’t have the answers, i have the questions.

Thumbs up

Disney diaper changing station — Outsiders will never think like insiders. Only Disney is going to over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore. Four rolls of toilet paper at the diaper changing station? Absolutely.

Thumbs up.

That’s what i present when someone cuts me off or nearly causes an accident. That and a prayer for the driver.

Used to offer the center finger. And no prayer. Ever.

Becoming a dad, and a Disney Institute teacher required a higher standard from someone who is preaching the highest standards.

Same on the local streets.

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Dear son, this would have been impossible for me in my 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.

Church, please

Our Country. Our neighborhood. Our journey. Note: USATF is USA Track & Field…a lifelong member.

Church, please, help us.

Church, are you behaving in a respectful, neighborly, inclusive way?

The noise level from the February 19, 2022 (yesterday) wedding reception was off-the-charts. The event was held outside in the Church Porte-Cochere area.

Do you know that just a 3dB increase in volume doubles the volume?

Now imagine going from 60dB to 100+dB.

It becomes residential noise pollution that defies logic, understanding, and practicality.

As wedding receptions go, sound volume was typical. So loud you have to shout ear to ear to be heard.

However, outside, surrounded by residential neighborhoods on all sides, totally disrespectful. By anyone’s standards, totally unacceptable noise levels.

Just checking for clarity, no one is above the law, right?

Note: This post (every post) is me writing to me, with the purpose of leaving a trail for our Son in case i’m not around (on the planet) and he has questions he wants to ask me directly. For example, “Hey dad, how do you handle community conflict or difference of opinion on what seems to be blatantly, and chronically, inappropriate behavior?”
