yesterday, 80 glorious sunny perfect degrees.
today, 56 freezing, i cant get warm bone chilling degrees.
is it the huge range in temps that makes 56 seem cold? i remember in the spring (in WI) 56 felt like 72. and why does it seem to penetrate to my very core making me sleepy. all i want to do is snuzzle under a fuzzy blanket on the couch my sweatshirt should have been enough but i had to turn the heat all the way up in the car. i am starting to consider the idea that i am have a risidual "i don't feel too hot" side effect from my tetanus shot yesterday.
a cold shiver snakes down my spine as i type and i wiggle to try to warm up my back. i hate it especially when my back gets cold. maybe since it is such a large surface area. i think i will head to the hot shower and warm up a bit. brrrr....

okay mister smartie pants.
ReplyDeleteI tootily agree with the need for a balance between linear and non-linear thinking. And I think that the extra talented people can switch between the two, or do them simultaneously. They somehow have an edge. And I also tootily agree that the educational system tries to blindly force one type of thinking direction on all the students. Without any consideration to the fact that there might be other types of thinkers out there... and more suitable approaches to the same problem.
But.
In your post, it sounded like your co-workers were 'linearly smart.' And that's the part that I didn't get. Because smart and thinking are not always directly correlated.
But. I definitely enjoy the reminder. When you swim in the same pond all day, you tend to adopt one stroke, when in reality, you could splash around any which way. It's good to be reminded of that. And in the end, does it matter how I got to the other side of the pond? Just that I got there. Right?
The only thing that this proves is that you can adapt. I know that I wouldn't have been able to convince anyone of this without any concrete evidence... but look. You can at least adapt to the weather. You gotta start somewhere. Because my question of the day is: Can people really change? Are we like old dogs? I dunno.
