It’s pretty impressive how able I am to be ok with the status quo. By and large, if something isn’t actively irritating me at any particular moment, I’m pretty much fine with it. It’s one of those things that’s come into relatively plain focus in the last few months. Whether it’s dealing with people in my personal life, or issues at work, or what have you, it definitely takes constant agitation for me to enact change.

Sometimes, that agitation comes from within – there are some things that I can’t “put aside” – things like the windows that leak require constant and vigilant attention. As a result, it’s extremely difficult for me to ignore them, and they get changed because they constantly bother me. Still, come the summer, for a few months at that point, they get put aside, until I remember that once it rains again, we’re screwed. The windows, thankfully, look to be mostly fixed. Hard to say without rain, but fortunately, we’ve got the acid test in action right now. We’ll see how it turns out.

Personal life’s good, too. Definitely some stress re: wedding planning, but it looks to be mostly coming together. Still, there are definitely people I end up ignoring for long stretches of time, simply because once they stop being a regular part of my life, I’m not “agitated” by their presence, or lack thereof. Kind of a lame way to put it, but true.

Work, recently, has been a constant pressure. For a few months, I really felt like the agitation could be used to enact change. I could present the issues I had, in a well-thought out manner, and hope that my experience could help the new management gel better with the team, or understand why certain relatively odd situations kept cropping up.

Anyway – nothing really in particular more to say here – just that I’m surprised by how accepting I am of the status quo when the agitation isn’t a constant pressure.
