Away from Pillow

The cat has left the pillow. He snuck onto a plane that has taken him en route to Istanbul, Turkey, where he's decided he's going to take it easy for a while before sneaking onto another plane in ten days time. Happy Holidays everyone.

These days, people come and go, floating from place to place. Friends will always manage to find each other again.

I honestly think that one of the most horrible evils is when a group of individuals inflicts intentional, unsolicited, unwarranted harm, damage, or death on an individual. 

Cowards.

Do you believe...that it's a small world after all?

The most uneventful, lonely birthday Monday ever. Well almost. Guess what happens when it's Monday and you have finals.

The weekend was lovely though. And this coming weekend is going to be crazzayyyyyy!

Thankful for being able to live this life. And thankful for the birthday wishes coming in from all over...Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and good ol' America!

Flake

When you flake out on someone, keep in mind that it's telling the person that you flaked out on that you're not reliable.

I know way too many flaky people. And I am way too forgiving.

Management and Leadership

There are many ways to be a great leader. The following list is what can cause the downfall of a potentially great leader (taken straight from class notes from my management class). This is from an organizational standpoint. I think as an everyday person you can get by even if you are all of these things. But if you're trying to accomplish something with a group of people, and it's just not working, it might be them...but chances are it might also be you.

What can cause the downfall of a leader?

• ·         Stubbornness and unwillingness to change
• ·         Control freak, trust issues
• ·         Inconsistency
• ·         Being overly idealistic

It stresses me out so much when I need to get a hold of someone and I get no response. I get worried, I get angry, I get anxious. =(

Sometimes, I wish I could take all the people and places I've ever been, put them all in a snow globe, shake them up so that they all fall in different places, and watch what happens.

Watching people get scolded makes me mega uncomfortable.

Why have I always felt like such a stranger in this city? I am leaving it as much of an outsider as I came into it? Depressing thought.
