I have been lucky throughout my career that for the most part the leaders that I have reported to have been excellent. Generally I have been provided freedom to work how I want and provided leeway to do things the way that I want to. I am not always one that abides by the rules…
Last night I tried my experiment of not eating or drinking and trying to sleep through the night. That did not work as I am still going to the washroom every couple of hours, regardless of whether it is night or day. I think that the one consolation though is that I am actually getting…
I have not been sleeping well the last couple of nights. I can fall asleep easily but when I have gotten up in the middle of the night I have been having some difficulty going back to bed. This morning I was up at 2:30 and ended up just staying up for most of the…
