kindness
Cicero Nobody sees the things I do. Nobody sees the little efforts I make that show a little more of my character. It's because I keep my mouth shut about my acts of kindness. I see no reason to go proclaiming them to my friends. I don't seek anybody's approval. I don't need a stamp of kindess.

When I stumbled upon that lost kid at Disneyland and walked her to the station, where her parents were waiting, I didn't even tell anybody about it. I just did it.

When I stopped to give that couple a jump, I kept my mouth shut about that too.

When I paid the guy selling roses (her roses) twenty dollars when he only wanted five, I kept that to myself, too.

I brought donuts for everybody (on me). Just cause.

These are just the kind of things I do. But everybody just forget about those. I'm just that depressed, angry guy who is mean to everyone. That's all.

Cicero Now I've gone and blabbed out it. Just great. Now I've nullified everything. 030219

nr i told my manager i'd been feeling down about my thankless account at work. i don't take it personally, but we bend over backwards for them and all they've done for two years is find things to complain about. with a normal set of accounts, unlike mine, there are some troublesome people, but others who tell you you're doing a great job. my manager told me that in case it hadn't been clear to me, i'm doing a great job. that i'm killing it with the account and he doesn't know that anyone else could do it as well as i do. that i'm crushing it from a complexity perspective, and he's impressed with everything i do.

i didn't cry, but i could've. he's not the type to say much unless something is wrong. but i needed that to be said to at least stay above water for a bit longer.
