Busy days are sometimes the best

I had a good day today, after getting up and getting moving, I was able to answer some emails, and get some lunch... and then walked the 2.5 miles to work today!  Great way to start the day, walking to the beat of music from my Blackberry and getting my blood pumping.  Unfortunately (or fortunately) it only took me 25 minutes to walk the distance that Google told me would take 45 minutes, so I showed up to work a half an hour early... but we were busy so I came on early.

Work, work, work (and I finally got a shirt and pants, but no badge yet.)

Came home and on the way came up with a brilliant idea:  a social networking event for gay men and women new to Portland!  I've already scouted out a domain name and thought of when, where and how... I'm so excited! 

Top that off with a considerable amount of research and work for one of my clients made for a good night...

And was able to calm two of my friends and business associates (though they may not be associating with one another after tonight).  Long story short:   Two event promoters I'm working with... one's calling the other a racist (she black), cause the white girl doesn't want to book her... cause the black girl has been somewhat unreliable and somewhat unstable.  We all have stress in our lives, some more than others... I more than most know that.  However to a) allow one's stress to stew one into a thick volatile mess is unacceptable and will just cause one to lose friends and business and b) to feel pity upon one's self (which we all do) to the point that one lashes out at other for the slightest misstep... see result of letter a.  I do hope we can all be friends, work together and play nicely.  Portland (and every city) is a small town.  Stealing one another's ideas and shitting on the rest are a terrible way to do business.  I live by the motto "It's showbusiness not showfriends"... however the flip side of this is that one much think of business associates as friends and enemies (frenemies, if you will), and remember to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.  Tis similar to killing your only spy in enemy camp cause they had said somethin' you di'int like, yaknowwha'Imsaying?  Not smart.

And off to bed (after laundry and tidy).
