Less Shocking This Time Around

“Oh, it's you.........Our relationship must be maturing. These entrances you insist on making, shock me less and less.”

Toiling in the middle of the night, Commissioner Gordon isn’t surprised as much when he looks into the inky darkness that fills his office, and out steps Batman. Many of us who work “9-5” I say with a tongue in my cheek, do a lot of work at night. The outside world sees what we want them to see, but there is much that just has to get done. Many a night I am at the computer in the basement of my house, just the light of the screen to light up my work area. I have done it for years, and I guess that is why no one is surprised that I have such a fond connection for those other heroes that work throughout the night, leading double lives.

But something else we learn, is that with planning, and making sure that the work gets done, that the planning for the next day is lined up, and we are less surprised by anything that might all of a sudden appear. Patience, Planning, and Persistence. Yes I am not shocked as often when I have been really working at my three P’s.
