Validation

Last week, just before I went home, I was pissed off. I was mad that the people in the office wanted me to come up with ideas on how to improve the tool systems on site, and I did. I simplified the process, implimented some intial changes, and went to a meeting to roll out my process. Promtly, everyone who had told me the idea was good backed up and left me hanging. I was then instructed that we would instead build a system that was not only not any better than the one we have now, it would fail. I knew it would, they knew it fail, but they wanted it to prove it would. Fuckers. I was pissed.
Today, I had a meeting with some of the higher-ups on the project to discuss this new (aka: destined to fail) system that we were going to roll out. The head boss told everyone to fuck off. He actually reitterated my original points and shut everyone else down. It was awesome. I feel validated and vindicated.

On a seperate note, tomorrow is Beltane eve. It's one of my favorite times of year, and my favorite pagan holiday. Every year for the passed 4, I've gone out to the place Diane and I go, build a big fire and make an offering. I love sitting out on that hill, watching the flames, watching the sunset and soaking up the spring.
This year, I'll be here. There will be no fire, due mostly to the snow we're getting as I write this. There will be no beer, or wine, and no offering.

I'm loving them! Most people would find the Norse Mythology dry, especially at the beginning, talking about the form and origins of poetry, but it's like nourishment to me. Did I tell you I also picked up the Solitary Witch by Raven Silver Wolf? I've heard people complain about her, but I wanted to see what she has to say.

Congratulations on having your ideas at work validated. It's a pretty rare feeling for most folks.

I haven't looked at hers yet. You have a talent for processing and absorbing multiple books, whereas I am a slow reader :)
