Caveat: Patrick Star’s To-Do List

I ran across this image a while back – from some episode of Spongebob Squarepants.

It’s Patrick’s to-do list, of course. I sometimes can relate – although my to-do list never says that. But sometimes, maybe it should, right? Zen.

The opposite of zen might be “nez.” How would this work? Always worrying, always stressing, always planning and organizing compulsively, never in-the-moment. Right?

Work is causing me some worry, these days – there will be a big announcement soon. More in the never-ending saga of “M&A: Korean hagwon industry edition” (that’s M&A = “Mergers and Acquisitions”).  There, that’s a good teaser. But honestly, why should I worry. I’ll be fine. I’m not invested in it, and the contracts are always one year long. I hate to see what the kids go through, sometimes, though. Kids do best with stability. Adults all around the world are pretty lousy at providing that.

Finally, on my blog’s left-hand column, I have various widgets. I’m sometimes adding, deleting, moving them around. Did you see the new cost-of-war widget? I may tire of it soon – it’s depressing. But I thought I’d try it out.

The other day, my weather widget told me that the weather was “expired.”

That seemed rather apocalyptic.
