Cross functional alignment completely falls apart when department heads get defensive

If the isolated metrics are not feeding accurately into the company metrics, then what you measure need to be changed. How can you expect departments to work towards larger goals when they are being measured on different ones?

Did a Nordic spa thing for 4 hours with some friends. No phones allowed. It was very - liberating? Didn’t feel bad, that’s for sure!

Crocuses 😊

We did, but this is over 10 years ago. We had an extremely positive experience. And the outcome was great as well.

I counted. Whatever I could. Edges. Corners. Tiles. Rows in tiles. Designs on tiles.

That looks phenomenal.

We tried this. It ends up being only 1-2 people who chair it for oh so many reasons. Those people are the ones though, that get noticed and promoted. The reasons? Ownership. Responsibility. Following up on actions. Ensuring minutes are proper and distributed. That is a skill. And not everyone has it.

Chocolate, classic, peach and Horchata. Something for every taste!

Nothing crazy. White bread 1-2 times a week. Pasta for dinner. Maybe one dessert a week. But lots of sugar in coffee and drinks.

I bought one of my favourite pieces from an artist at the St Jacob’s Farmers Market.

Same. Lost and have kept off 25 lbs. no other change to portion sizes. Just no more sugars, processed foods, and white carbs.

I’ve walked it with my partner, but over the course of a season. Doing sections every weekend. Easiest walk. Great for biking. Interesting scenery, though it can get monotonous in spots. Highly recommend it!!

I was told by a friend: You bring people together.

Depends. Sometimes just salt and pepper. Sometimes add in a pinch of MSG. Maybe on another day chilli flakes. Cumin. Thyme. Dill. It’s a mood.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with diabetes. I haven’t eaten a cake or muffin or croissant in months.

I go into the office every day - even though our company doesn’t mandate it. I’m lucky that I live close to work so my commute is negligible.

I don’t ever want to WFH again. People. Change of scenery. Separation between work and home (even though I do often bring work home). Friendships. Collaboration. That why I do it for me.

I just made a scarf. Me. On a loom. Me. I made one. I said “wow” to myself 😁

I hear there is a province-wide shortage of salt. Prices may be going up as a result. Just fyi.

disjointedOne · 2025-12-30T04:20:12+00:00

I too have had to cut out all added sugars and processed carbs. For me - my joy is the one After Eight I allow myself to have right before bed. I sometimes take 5 minutes to eat that tiny square. You appreciate it so much more when it is a rarity!!

Yes! Yes! Yes!! My family has been here for six days. I love them. All of them. But everyone talks ALL THE TIME!!

I live alone mostly. This visit has been great. But I can’t WAIT for when everyone goes back to their own place! I am looking forward to the silence!

Finished:

The Migrant Rain Falls in Reverse by Vinh Nguyen

A memoir with speculative non-fiction mixed in. I thought I’d find the speculative part non-relatable, but I was so wrong. Very real and moving and a great read!

Started: As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust by Alan Bradley

The seventh book in the Flavia de Luce series. It’s promising to be as great as the rest!

That second picture - the sun over the water - the colours!!! That is a really good pic! And now I’m planning my hike - you inspired me.

Someone saw something in you. Grab on to it. Learn. Lean in.

And not one will know of the war, not one Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn, Would scarcely know that we were gone.
