Day 4 - 166 -- Pointing out Inconsistencies

Work was fairly mundane today. Worked on course materials for Fall and a presentation for later this month. Several research projects were addressed in a small way to get things moving. The day ended with my questioning a procedure that seemed to be contrary to accepted policy. Not sure how that one will go, but we'll see.

Putting yourself out there to try to right a wrong can be very difficult to do. Even if it is something small, making waves isn't comfortable or well accepted by others. Sometimes it feels easier to walk away and let it be -- not my circus, not my monkeys. Yet, it can still grate if the situation is repeated. Rather than feel the frustration, why not politely point out the issue. It may be rectified or it may be left as is. Either way, you tried and that should mean something.

Thinking through the process today, brought a song to mind. Imagine <grin>. The lyrics outline a philosophy of trying to leave the world a better place. The title phrase indicates why it can be difficult to try to bring something forward -- no one wants the reputation of being a rabble rouser, after all. A great Canadian band sings this one. Enjoy!
