There are a couple of reviews that I don't care about but must attend; one negative promo outcome that I got permission to share early so that I could help a more junior manager deliver the bad news; and a couple of goodbye events. Blah blah. Today was dumb and rushed like any other Monday.

For all it's gone reasonably, I did have a little flash of panic on Friday when I felt over-scheduled, and I am not enjoying looking at the March page of my wall calendar, which is filled with post-it flags of important battles, all past now. March's picture was prettier but I want, very literally, to turn the page.
