late day at the office

13-hour day today at the office. After dinner at a local favorite, I get home just after 10pm. I am writing this two days later, and I’m not clear on what I achieved. Team goal setting. Multiple meetings. Oh yes, a colleague is taking vacation, so I spend time with him to get the information I need before sharing with the new boss.

Work… What is it all for at the end of the day? Will I remember the importance of today a month from today? Does it really matter?

What do they say? Make sure to take care of the balls that won’t bounce back? Those that’ll shatter? Because work will bounce back and so will friends? What if I want the balls to shatter, no matter how rubbery and hard? What if we’re looking at it all wrong? I ask because I don’t have any of the answers. The ramblings of a confused working professional.
