Hi. I'm done, a couple of ways. I am tired beyond description, emotionally and intellectually, and yes, physically (my aching back), but am smiling. Why? Because the Garage is done! Maybe not to a casual onlooker but to the trained eye, wow! Progress.
Just the first floor though, and we now move to the dreaded mezzanine, then the attic and the Shed of Horrors, but ... we finished the Garage.
People can lose themselves in a big project, and forget that each major step accomplished is a reason for celebration. Maybe not champagne and caviar, but a celebration nonetheless. It is important to acknowledge success, even if the final goal is still aways away.
It is confusing times at Acme, for the newly-hired staff as well as for Dick. He needs to find small items, goals, reasons to communicate that Acme celebrates success. Staff work harder when they know their efforts are rewarded, even with a pizza and soda lunch on Friday.
My reward for reaching the milestone? Well, there is that nice bottle of red wine downstairs, and today was payday so the wife is in a good mood (it is hard when you sleep with your accountant), so ... maybe we'll stay up later than usual tonight, and sleep in tomorrow. Doesn't sound like much? Trust me, every time the alarm does not ring at 5am is a reason to celebrate.
To the wine, Tally Ho.
