He does not understand the technicalese, but certainly senses the pride in the contribution you are making to a team effort and though I don't quite know if that is what Ursula meant, I do believe that you are in the flow and for that, I congratulate you.<br /><br />"Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it's to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential – as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You'll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you're doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you'll hear about them.<br />To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble."<br /><br />~ Bill Waterson of Calvin And Hobbs fame.<br /><br />I do get the feeling that you have invented your own life's meaning and are happier for the trouble.<br />Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574370384536640867.post-73545327392477139652013-05-25T22:55:54.830-07:002013-05-25T22:55:54.830-07:00I totally disagree with Grannymar: Anything keepin...I totally disagree with Grannymar: Anything keeping you away would be A VERY BAD thing indeed.To be stamped upon before it has a chance to grow another head.<br /><br />Other than that, Conrad: Yes. Exciting. And you know what: I don't normally go for insider lingo but do adore the implied optimism of "Flow Chart". The flow, well, flowing. Can't get more uplifting than that.<br /><br />UUrsulahttp://bitchontheblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574370384536640867.post-67824778359206288842013-05-25T13:32:46.576-07:002013-05-25T13:32:46.576-07:00Although I do not fully understand it, the opportu...Although I do not fully understand it, the opportunity and work sound exciting.
