General:

Exercising discretion

No posts from me last night (my time) for multiple reasons. I had dinner with some colleagues visiting from the United States. We had a discussion regarding the future of the industry in which we work and of our company. The uncertainty is not comfortable, nor are many of the likely scenarios.

Another reason I did not post is that I'm busy preparing for the meetings that are the reason for the visitors from the US, meetings that commence today and continue until Friday afternoon.

A third reason is in my reading on the web, I ran across something that angered me more than I have been in a long time. I decided discretion needed to be exercised and instead of reacting, I should take the time for the white hot rage to subside, take the time to determine if my emotional reaction was appropriate and consistent with the fundamentals of my beliefs, and write a response using the head, rather than the heart.

So, instead of writing, I went to bed.

Now, it's time for the meeting-fest to begin.
