COT
Talked about keeping a positive attitude even during times of struggle. Someone is always watching. Gave an example of my children watching me. I had a bad few weeks at work, etc. and brought a bad attitude home. My 9-year old started getting an attitude and I kept asking my wife, wonder what’s wrong with her? My wife and daughter called me on it. The fact is, my children were watching my negative attitude every day for those few weeks and it rubbed off on them. You never know who is going to be watching: children, colleagues, spouses, strangers, no matter what if we keep a positive attitude, that is the first big hurdle in leadership. That attitude will bleed over to others, whether good or bad, so make it good!
Moleskin
Lots of MC surrounding the fartsackers. Specifically, those who needed an extra block (cough, cough, Sunscreen). Took a picture of “extra” blocks at the end just to add salt to that wound!
Other MC surrounding the fact that we should have Q review platforms, similar to Trip Advisor. Not sure if that is a good or bad suggestion when I am the one on Q…..I will maintain a positive attitude and say it would have been good reviews today (see positivity note in COT above)
Apparently, there is someone who walks their dog around the park early in the mornings with the leash hanging out the window…….Only the dog is walking, the someone is driving very slowly in circles. Never seen that before, so thought it was worth mentioning.
