It’s a Wonderful Dad’s Life

Things Keeping Me Up Tonight

So it is 2:30 a.m. I am wide awake.

Will woke up at 11:30 p.m. and had issues. He had been put to bed in sweat pants and a sweat shirt, so I changed him to pjs. He seemed to be struggling with his throat and so I gave him a throat strip. He also had a bit of milk. And I held him lovingly as we watched an episode of Thomas the Tank Enine.

An hour later, he was ready for bed. Once I laid him back down, he was out like a light.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t.

I started to think about work and the projects I am working on.

The current status of the project. I have buy off and acceptance of the concept from both the project manager and my group’s executive team. Thus the project is moving to the evangelize period, the time when I try to get more people on board within the group. And the problem with that is that so many people are resistant to change. Already, I have heard grumblings about this concept.

And I am in a precarious position right now. I have the authority to do what I am doing. I don’t however have the role required. And that presents a bit of a challenge for the short term.

The saving grace is that I will be going on vacation in a little over a week and soon after I come off of that vacation, this will all be sorted out.

So what am I thinking about?

How do I get people on board, who are pre-disposed to not be on board.

Perhaps I am not being all that coherant. It is late. Perhaps I will discuss it tomorrow.
