Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

Some endeavors are so complicated that headaches are expected. Most endeavors, however, have headaches that are caused by the people involved and are unnecessary.

Some endeavors are complicated. That is their nature. Concentration, lots of it, sometimes brings me a headache. I have worked in complicated endeavors and endured the natural and expected headaches.

Then there are endeavors that are not so complicated, but lack of organization and discipline brings headaches. You find yourself balancing on one foot while juggling with one hand and tweaking a knob with the other while holding your dog’s leash with your elevated foot. That is really hard to do without falling and hitting your head on the concrete. Headache.

Hitting my head on the concrete is an unnecessary headache. At my age, I avoid them. Best of luck and call me when you are ready to act like rational adults.
