woah - struck a chord
Listening to: funny Uk show - satire of the news - IBS NEWS
Well, I have to say that Buttercup's words/comments did bite me a touch. I mean, yes, it would be lovely to say that I balance my work and 'play' time equatibly. I would love to think that.
But I guess, if I have to be honest with myself.... I don't tend to do that. Glasser claims that one has five basic needs - survival, fun, freedom, power, love & belonging. All my needs are fairly met but the one I tend to crave is power. Now that does not mean world domination (although, if offered, I could be tempted to have a go 
) But control over myself is an issue - and control over my extended reality, I suppose.
I have freedom, my survival needs are met, I surely feel 'love & belonging'. I guess I work to build my 'power' need. I like to do a good job. I was never that way early in my career... but now.... I will not allow myself to do anything but a good job on whatever the project i am working on. Actually, I will only settle for outstanding.
Now my 'boss' does not have to think that I am 'outstanding' - It is enough just for me to know.
Thus I work a lot. (I do delegate stuff - but my staff are young - talented but there is a fine balance - I do not want to overload them as they work so hard now.)
Ahhh, how are my fun needs met....? Well, I do get out sometimes..... I enjoy working wth the people I do.... and if I am working at home on my projects... I drink wine. At this stage in my life.... that seems to be enough.
I have travelled and had plenty of fun in my twenties. Now, I think I am satisified. I have a few dark shadows over my world, but they are out of my control ... so all I can do is the best I can.
So, yes, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed last night. Actually, I still do. What I have to do over the next two weeks means that I shall be very busy. But, I guess I could not have it any other way.
Obsessive? I admit it. "My name is Veronica and I am obsessive. The last time I was obsessive was ... umm... 10 minutes ago."
Hmmmmm, well I think that is the close of my self absorbed 'all about me' entry. ( I want to say that I hate being self indulgent on my blog... but I have to be honest and admit that it is a big part of it)
Peace, love and brown rice to the universe!
:)
