A new year. I'm not entirely sure if I should be typing this or letting it slip in silently....

Awaiting watching on TV the descent of the beautiful Waterford Crystal Ball in Times Square in just a couple more hours plus some minutes....
Chiming in....Happy New 2022 everyone ?
Is my computer trying to tell me something?
I was using the outlining app CherryTree and trying to move an entry
The keyboard command was "Shift Alt-Right".
I am quite happy staying as the left-winger I was brought up as, thank you...

Great start to the new year. Both my Mum and Dad have COVID. Dad been rough for a few days but better today. Mum has only a slight headache. Dad is 79, Mum 81.
So far I’ve tested negative despite being with them every day through Christmas. Thank God we are all fully vaccinated.

First one, no bother except for a sore arm for a few days
Second one, same as above
Third, really painful - and I had a sore arm for days after. The Doctor who administered it I felt like he took a running jump at me.
Just wondering –
- Do you think I could put the Australian Federal Govt. up on eBay?
- Would I get anything for it?
Asking myself whether it would be worth it to buy a new suite of skiing gear with us getting 5-10 c° in January (Switzerland), or if i'd be better off saving up for a sailboat (or at the very least the docking rights ?).
Where about you at here in Switzerland? Yea, not great ski weather (I don't ski, well I have done x-country and do like snowshoeing or just hiking) this year.
I'm around the riviera, mostly sad that we won't have white winters in the plains anymore, in the mood for some ski-touring if tomorrow's snowfall are kind to us.
Hikers will stand unfazed from the changing climate
.
Thanks. Thankfully they both seem to have normal cold like symptoms. In good spirits and hopefully make a full recovery soon.
What's on my mind? I will tell you - Wondering why Managers/Leaders, do not lead their employees accordingly. If your employee is performing poorly, address it, and help them progress to being a better employee. Failing that, simply dismiss them and find a better/another candidate.
I don’t do any skiing anymore. Used to a lot more in youth. Both some downhill and cross-country skiing. I find it more interesting to run in the snow these days at times. Some winters are more snow filled than other’s though. But my greatest sport inspiration ever, is the most outstanding cross-country skier Marit Bjørgen.
In my toughest period after both my father and brother died she was my fuel and inspiration to get through the lows. I deeply admire the sport when performed with such incredible excellence. Winter sport in general are pretty cool in double meaning.
I have however a great treadmill and I love to run, mixed with yoga. So I can take advantage of the inspiration of winter sport while running in comfort. Perfect during bad weathers.
I am still looking forward to continue being inspired of Marit. Even if she have retired from ordinary cross-country skiing she have prolonged her career and moved on to long distance skiing. Which have become really popular these days.
So I guess I just have to run longer too. ?

Glad to hear it! @Lioness~ I have looked up Marit Bjørgen as I don't follow skiing that closely - my favourite winter sports being hockey (born in Canada eh) and figure skating - and am very imprsssed by this woman's record. I am also very glad to see she has returned to competition at 41 in a world where athletes have shorter and shorter "expiry" dates.
You help randoms online, with IT issues, and they don't even say thanks. That's what's on my mind...
Because most don’t know how to be a good manager! Trust me I know some shocking ones. I try to be the sort of manager I would want. But I’ve been going it nearly all my working life. Many end up managing people with no training or even interest in it. They just want the extra pay they get for it.
Simple remedy on that. If people are not grateful for your services, give them out only where they are instead. The world and the net are a big place. Don’t compromise your integrity.
In my line of work I've found that some mangers are awful. Clueless. They just knew what to say when interviewed. I know some "acting up" managers who are superb but just cannot get past the interview stage. Higher management would rather promote people who "tick all the boxes" rather than how they perform.
Ahhh the (in)famous "Peter Principle" - I've seen too much of that and we all see that all too often in government.
I love shopping for new bras. The problem is I can never find one to perfectly match my beard and moustache......That I am pleased with my new bought bra’s
Shopping bra’s, can be a mess, especially when the old ones have lasted a while, and shopping online. Sizes can differ widely. But I've ended up with 6 new ones that I am satisfied with. 4 is totally awesome. With not so much hassle that I had expected. The majority of them, are sport bras.
But I am really surprised that a big company such as Nike had such awful website/shopping site at 2018 and lack of technological knowledge/support. Have had a lot of Nike sportswear, this time I bought zero from them.
Being reminded to think about how I’m doing my job, managing my expectations of said job, and my salary. The rest isn't important.
Yep, that's what's on my mind...
