Today I went to work. I feel my day at work was not terribly productive; I had too much downtime.
What did you do today that you valued?
Today I had dinner at the Clarkston Union (one of my favorite restaurants) with my two roommates and our friend Joe. I had a few hefeweizens and one of my favorite meals so that made my day pretty good.
Did you learn anything today?
My roommate is an elementary school teacher and I spent some time after dinner looking at the results from her year end reports. I learned how difficult it must be to teach small children how to read. The English language is extremely complex with rules that can all broken. How do you teach children a language rule, then teach them the rule does not always apply?... I learned I would not want to be a school teacher.
Any other thoughts?
At dinner my friend Joe proposed an idea for a new product he has in mind. As a product designer, people often propose product ideas to me; they are usually mediocre ideas at best... I must admit, Joe's idea was pretty good and I am excited to see if I can find some further potential in the idea. My freelance work has been (intentionally) slow lately and I have been enjoying my free time so I am unsure if I want to begin another project right now.
