That Ambition Done Got Away

Slim from Texas notes to The Cube . . .

It's Friday and ambition's foiled me again.

Y'see, if you've no ambition, you're happy to "settle." I've got no major ambitions about this place, but enough minor ones to keep me running.

But that's the problem: my ambition is to Do This and Accomplish That as something of a "whole" - I know that if I only do a Little Of This and a Bit Of That that it's a waste of time . . . at least as far as my ambitions are concerned.

They tell you in all the time management books to plan out your activities in little "do-able" segments. Here in the trenches, we don't control our time. How do I plan it?

It's Friday and I'm still facing the unstarted "wholes" that I set for myself at week's beginning. I wish I had no ambitions to do a good job, then I could just TGIF and settle for what seems to be good enough for the bosses.
