8/17/00: Unfinished Business.
 

One of my pet peeves is unfinished business. If I have to leave something for later that's not done, or have to stop what I'm doing to do something else, I always feel guilty, disappointed, etc. I just don't like to leave things unfinished.

At Circuit City, I was realphabetizing the entire DVD section. I was moving along nicely, but due to the fact that I was all alone I had to leave it behind. I was close to finishing, but not wanting to stay the extra half hour it would take to get it done I had to leave it. I can guarantee that it won't be done when I return from my vacation, or it'll be done really badly. Nothing's worse than starting someone, leaving it to someone else, and it being all mucked up.

It doesn't stop there though... lately I've been thinking of all the stuff that I've had to leave unfinished. I've left a lot of personal stuff unfinished right now while I get things in order, such as the PRISM print launch... I don't even know if that'll be able to happen when I want it to at this point... it's still too up in the air to know. Then there's the relationship with Cheryl... it just feels like that the way it was cut off it was left unfinished. Really, in the way it ended, it was.

But now's the time tie those ends off. In terms of work, I'm beginning to do that, leaving Circuit next week and CFM will be adjusted once again. Personal life wise, Cheryl and I, with a co-worker, are taking a trip to Six Flags New England on August 31 (she suggested it and I eventually thought that it was a good idea. Mainly because it was my idea while we were still together heh). That should bring closure there. Then there's the PRISM... well, I've got ideas, and a week's trip to Boston to write them up. Hopefully that'll be enough effort to get it all together.

Closure's good. I think I just need some more of it though. College is supposed to be a fresh start... it's time to get this extra baggage packed and gone.
