The forest at midnight — today’s Darlene Scarf
I don’t know if Darlene has names for her creations, but that’s what I call this one.
It reminds me of when I was a kid, and I’d wait until everyone was asleep, and then sneak out of the house, across the fields, and into a nearby woody area.
There, I’d hang out in this one open field edge with an old crumbling stone wall, surrounded by trees on all sides, with one big bare tree in the center. I’d think moody, mysterious thoughts. Often there was a full moon.
I think my plan to inspire myself is working…

Why, I think that one’s my favorite. You have a lovely collection!

My favorite changes with my mood. But I haven’t worn the Forest for a while, and it feels especially fresh and powerful!

Persona. Not persons. Sounds like you have someone locked in the basement.

Thanks! It does help to know folks are out there rooting for me!
I wonder if knowing that would sway my boss any? Hm…. Nah, the real problem is HIS boss! I just have to keep at my boss until he sorts it out with his.

Yeah, my guess is that neither your boss, or your bosses’ boss would be swayed. Sounds like another example of the “jobless recovery”- work your employees to the bone, maximize productivity, record high-profits, blah, blah, blah.
In your corner, rooting and cheering!

You’re right about the “strip-mine-your-workers” attitude going around these days. But I think I do have a chance at some improvement, given that my immediate boss is not actually evil, and not an idiot. Discussion will continue.
