It's my birthday! I'm 30! holy crap!

I just got word that a major project is now behind schedule and won't hit it's install date by enough of a margin that my built-in estimate padding is useless as well, and I'll have to inform senior management that we're changing the install date.

But hey, it's my birthday!
And it's a gorgeous day with the temperature in the 80's! That counts for something... right?

Trying not to let work ruin my good mood.

I want to compile a list of things to accomplish in this decade, anyone have suggestions for me?
What should I do before the tens digit rolls over again?
Serious, silly, all will be accepted and considered.


Lovin' life. :-)

Cop out! ;)

But in a different way of thinking about it, I think that anything you do, should be things you'd be proud or amused to tell the stories of when sitting on the porch of the nursing home in your old age. You know, things like:

  • Make sure to travel,
  • to see a third world country,
  • to travel by train,
  • to visit a different climate
  • visit some of the world's major art museums
  • go to a concert in another country for one of your favorite bands
  • take a class in something not even vaguely related to your job
  • Read a story to a child, complete with different voices and funny arm movements.
  • push your comfort zones (safely)
  • Be someone's consequential stranger
