Only 10s

the book is about priorities. it turns our, there is a group of people who will concentrate on the work to be done only when there is a real urgency to do it. for this kind of folks, it is paramount to prioritize and to go and cater for their high-urgency stuff first. if they don’t, nothing gets done.

Carrie

Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher were people known to me from the movies. Obviously, Princess Leia is the one I remember most fondly, having seen the Star Wars and starting to love it mainly for her (yes, everything else was, IMHO, crap). Also obviously, I had a crush on her ;). Later on, I got the connection between Carrie and Debbie, but never really followed what was going on behind the scenes with Carrie after Star Wars. To me, the last 30 years where simply static, with Princess Leia being what she was, Star Wars being a thing of the past, etc.
With the new Star Wars movies, I began to rediscover Carrie Fisher. I got interested in her life story, her development after Star Wars, her movies, roles, her illness. Even her connection with her mother. My last discovery was she was the most normal crazy person (or the most crazy normal person).
Her death was a blow. Let me put it this way. As she was again being accepted for her most famous role, she died. And that is, in my opinion, how it was laid out for her – Pam got her. Finally.

RIP.

Strange are ways on how to read a book

Had no idea I would have to work so much during my vacation. This left me rather exhausted and feeling that I should be somehow try and read something – I still consider this to be a passive endeavour – instead of doing some active stuff (like building a web site).

But after finishing Company Town, I went for the Superforecasters, which I found heavy at the beginning. I thus, also due to lack of time (and brainpower), switched Only 10s, which was short and easy enough to be finished in a couple of hours.

Now let’s get back to Superforecasters 😉
