Morning rising chaos this weekend because of clock change absurdity: overslept on Saturday, starting the day off over an hour late; and stayed in bed reading the NY Times on Sunday (dark, so dark).  Also, i did not sit in front of my bright light yesterday morning, and ended up cocooned in the dim living room all day as rain fell. I know i did thinking things and reading things, but it feels like i let the day evaporate away. Given the mental exhaustion i felt on Friday, i probably needed to be "off."

The new Corporate-types who are our management now come from Consulting; i am glad my manager was promoted internally. The manager i will work with most closely is not from Consulting but seems a little Corporate. I am so far from Corporate that it would take days to arrive via Concorde. (Do i even share air space with Corporate?) I am also happily isolated from the particularly problematic Exec Director -- problematic because he does not have time for detail and does not seem to listen. Which is triggery for me. Anyhow, the new manager started last week. I'll be interviewing some new hires for the team, we have a crew of contractors to be attached to the team, so much people change ahead.

I was happy  to take time to help a new project get a UX right because we have a number of bad UX flows for the same purpose and this team does not have all the "help" that would mean I would be treading on toes by doing UX. (I am confident because i am proposing a UX based on a couple years long research project a standards body performed. Otherwise, i would really be out of my lane.)  We have a "workshop" tomorrow.
