What Work Can Mean to You

Week 4

What Work Can Mean to You

Tweets

1. There’s a pace to travel in work that enlivens, a balls-
on-the-feet action that quickens the body.

2. The loneliness one feels in the busy hotel after a solo
room-service dinner counters with occasional self-doubt.

3. Back home toward weekends the tension continues as
one joins family, friends, office associates and weighs
questions of career.

4. The project comes front-and-center, tests loom to master mettle and moxie, the appetite for competence a pang that bites back.

5. Is it worth it? Does it matter? Am I the one to play here? Does this play elsewhere?

6. Caught up short, I’m ready for guidance.

7. What must I learn? Who and what will teach me? What fear do I need to put behind me?

Industry

What does the

road warrior want,

having that last

cup of coffee

in the hotel dining room

before it’s off

to the sales call,

interview, presentation,

smiling participation

in the workshop,

meeting with the boss

in another city,

near the end

of the week—

catching the plane home,

catching her breath,

reading a book,

summarizing a report?

Then one day

may come the moment—

Let this be me!
