I had the most interesting revelation in my dream last night. I was with a group of people all supposedly work colleagues which isn't true, but in my dream they were supposed to be. And one of them told me that my management style was influenced by the fact that my first time as a manager was with people who were hourly employees who needed the firmer hand of someone in an authoritative role rather than a guiding or mentoring role and that it has stayed with me all the years without evolving as the people I have had to lead have evolved.

Whoa.

Deep shit subconscious. Not even sure where that came from or why. But there's definite truth to it as I ponder it. Got up yesterday to a still throbbing ear. It's a little better now but not 100%. Finished my damn puzzle! Woot! Now today I need to go get some puzzle glue and finish it up. I am actually going to keep this one and frame it. I bought it with the intent of doing just that and I was very picky about the one I picked for that reason. I knew I should have bought the glue when I bought the puzzle but oh well.

The kid had XBF, now BF, come over last night. Apparently they made up and are trying it again. Whatever. I wash my hands of the whole thing. I really do. She will get her heart broken again and I will pick up the pieces as is my fatherly duty but otherwise I am staying the fuck out. Not worth the headache.

I did learn that my little Disneyland girl just broke up with her boyfriend and will be in the park on the 19th at the same time I will be. Okay, this trip just got significantly better. Booyah. I need to order some pins before I go otherwise I won't have enough traders. I will do that either later today or tomorrow. The person I order from is really good and will easily have them here in time (crosses fingers).

Went to the show last night. Good show. Nothing of any major note. No issues, no drama. Everyone seemed to have a good time and we got out of there relatively early. Smaller audience than we hoped but hey it's the first weekend in January right after NYE parties and it was raining. Can't complain that we had as many as we did. I would say probably 150ish. We need at least 120 to cover our costs and 200 is optimal in size. We did okay given that.

Today I am staying inside and relaxing. Maybe a little house cleaning, maybe not. We shall see how my ear feels.
