Michael always says, "If you keep on doing what you've alway's done, you'll keep on getting what you always got." How incredibly obvious! "They say stupidity is to assume you'll get a different outcome and keep doing it anyway or stupidity is to keep on doing the same thing and to expect a different outcome."
There is an info guy that touts, if you keep on doing this year what you did last year you'll be in the same place. I know. We all know change is hard, scary and often necessary. I once took a seminar on it at a SLA convention in Seattle. Big title for little content and msg. No one wants to change. Most will be screaming and dragging their feet the whole way. The more input, discussion you illicit from the group makes them feel part of the process. Change is often proscribed fait a compile from the powers that be. Her grand finale was to hand out an envelope which would be mailed in x time that contained the idea for change as a reminder y time in the future and see if you actually implemented it.
I ran by the library this afternoon and for the first time perhaps in 33 years or so ran into an acquaintance randomly. He wanted to get together. I'm not sure I want to again. He is younger and interesting. He is bilingual, Mexican, so I enjoy the chance to converse in Spanish. He's very busy, has a lot of family with a lot of problems he's very involved with and has odd IT work hrs.
It was nice to see him though. It's been a year or two since I last saw him.
