Picking up cans

Spiky

Yep. The best days are full of all the things you love; where you add enormous value, where you fight fires and you beat them cold, where you’re challenged in a good way, where you break out an enjoyable sweat and the whole world sparkles. You’re working hard, but it’s fun all the way through the wood shed.

Then there’s most other days, where glory moments are rare and the day-to-day is the same ol’ day-to-day that is was yesterday. Where you fight the good fight, it’s a little more prosaic, and you go home with the sense of a job done.

Then there’s the days you hate. Dealing with things that left you cold … that you avoided until you had no choice … picking up cans (with everyone watching) that you kicked down the road for far too long.

And you promise yourself, quicker next time.

Skippy strategy: No more kicking.
