3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Shift 2 of the Weekend Job passed off OK and left me with mixed feelings. On one hand the place is critically under-maintained and under-manned, making working conditions needlessly unpleasant. On the other hand there's never been a better junior-management team in my section. 

Anyway, this job has taken up way too much of my thought. It can now retreat to the background as I am away from the place next week, and thoughts can turn to my "proper job" and stuff for Missus birthday next week. Today will be a good day to shut down the mind and gear it up for a more constructive and fulfilling set of tasks.

I have also rediscovered the Tao-te-Ching and deriving some calm and wisdom from it, enabling my consciousness to rise above my character easier.
