Today I have no backpack or bag at all. I'm going for lunch today and my clothes are already under my desk. It's nice to not carry anything -- save for Catch-22 hanging in a plastic pink "Love Culture" bag on my left handlebar. I can tell already that I won't be as sweaty as normal, since there's no bag on my back suppressing and insulating the heat.
I want this week to be over. I just want to train and get lean and read, among other things... I do not want to be at work or in an air-conditioned nightmare.
I'm on the General Peckem chapter in the book and it makes me think of a southern-drawled executive I know of. This passage in particular:
"Just pass the work I assign you along to somebody else and trust to luck. Somewhere down near the lowest level of this coordinated organization I run are the people who do get the work done when it reaches them, and everything manages to run along smoothly without too much effort on my part. I suppose that's because I'm a good executive. Nothing we do in this large department of ours is really very important and there's never any rush."
There's several people I know of whose professional lives can be summed up by the preceding quite succinctly. Makes a lot of things not worth it.
That's all for now. On the whole, it is a good morning (I did re-inflate the tires last night) but this passage is sticking with me and I need to just plow through the day like Refrigerator Perry.
Thank you for reading.
