You’re entitled to the joy of work, you’re just not entitled to the results. – Larry Brilliant
I mailed a CD of V3.0 of the Real Joe Radio Show demo to public radio folks today. There’s been enough water over the damn since the terrorist attack to think that they can give this some attention. Tomorrow, I’ll follow up with an email and we’ll semi-fake a voicemail from the Guv.
I’m really pleased with it. I had no idea it would take this long — I remember thinking we could get it done by Memorial Day — but I’m glad we went for quality instead of expediency. And the joy of work? Couldn’t have been much better: interesting, hard, fun, satisfying, great teamwork.
So I’m trying not to pray for results that I think would be best, but rather for guidance on whatever comes next. Besides, with our world in crisis, it seems even more ridiculous than usual to pray that my will be done for my little world.
