Meetings, Fitbits & Mates

Oh my.

I'm sorry. I most likely start almost every post with something similar. I guess it makes my life sound so dramatic!

Okay there's a few small bites of information.

Today I was in three different meetings...

The first one was well... interesting, I guess it was more of a catch up, not really a meeting per say.

The second one was personality central. Something made me want to just sit and watch them talk for a while. Interestingly the people who sat near me also chose to stay right out of most topics of conversation. I only spoke when I agreed or really didn't agree. However the 'chair' of the conversations seemed to look towards me and look for some reassurance. Well, not reassurance... that's the wrong word. Perhaps the correct word is that he was checking to see if I was engaged. Haha! It's true. When sitting back from a conversation I'm really bad at staying engaged. I need to be somewhat involved or at least active to listen.

The third one ... oh the third one...
See I need to be constantly reminding myself that I sign up for these jobs. I am the one that puts myself on the committee (well actually not always, I tend to get many things thrown at me). However I do honestly enjoy it all. Somehow I find the time, and energy, oh the energy. To get up there and make it work.

The other things that happened today was I decided at one of my places of work to challenge them in a fitbit weekly race. I shall let you know the outcome of that one, but it looks like I might have just narrowly won the first day - but it really is the number at the end of the working week that counts!

Also I might be doing this writing thing a bit more soon. It would appear that I don't know how I'm going to go about dealing with one of my closest friends moving into the real world (honestly I'm afraid of losing her), another one of my friends is so busy with following his career (I only joined his orchestra so I get to see him), then I have two more friends. One of them is madly in love with a Canadian. I'm so happy for her, however I feel like I just piss her off with my trivial issues (I'm a shit mate to her). Then there's the guy who I feel would honestly help me move the earth if that's what I needed. He's going through some personal journey stuff at the moment and I respect the fact that he needs space to be ready for all of that jazz.

... that leaves me with myself and my 1255 acquaintances on Facebook (+whoever else I've met through university, work, schools, teaching...)

Until next time,
