The laptop is finished and it works! It is currently loading 4,276 emails into Outlook.
Work was really quiet last week. We should have left Monday. Instead I'm stuck doing real work this week. The good news is I have a great excuse for not getting all that documentation done.
Not having enough to do, I met a friend to hear The Art and Science of Change, lecture at Unity Church, tonight. I had no business being there of course, but I went anyway.
Therapist Kevin (www.i360.life.com) said if he had known sooner that humans didn't change he would have become a vet. His proof was that 90 percent of post coronary patients who immediately changed habits (diet, exercise, smoking etc) after the incident had reverted to their old habits after 2 years.
The process of change is defined as precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance according to Transtheoretical social scientists DiClemente & Procheska
We know that women ask for help sooner; men generally won't ask till they are about dead, which can cause conflict. Women want some action while the guys are still contemplating.
Meanwhile some car attacked a median tree in front of the church. Traffic was backed up for miles while the wounded auto was loaded on a tow truck.
Celebrating that I had narrowly avoided another pre-vacation complication - it might have been me instead of the tree - I had a vegetable burger (my first) at Jakes while Terry ate a chemical laden hamburger. Hopefully we will both survive the night. Only 3 days to go!
