At work, (work that pays that is,) we have a monthly report due. It is where we explain to the people who sign our checks what we did to justify the oodles of cash that trickles down. When I was lower down in the food chain, I had a daily report. It is hard to believe, but twenty five daily reports are much easier than one monthly report.

The point is, I thought I would do a monthly report about what isn't done "for" a living, but just to live. It is hoped that the later far exceeds the first in effort and resulting satisfaction. I know the general life instruction to find something you like and then figure a way to get paid for it. It is good as a general rule. In a way, I had done that.

It was that evil trap of agreeing to manage a group of others who also do what they like. Soon the doing falls by the wayside and the managing becomes a thing in and of itself. Managing isn't work. It is seeing that work gets done, that results are achieved and goals met. All of those are not tangible things. They are ideas. You can't eat ideas. You can't hang an idea up on a wall and admire it. You can admire the statement of Direct Deposit, and the food, shelter and clothing it represents.

The point here is to figure how this monthly report will appear. When I do, I'll let you know. In a month or two..
