Trust

You know what? I realized it's been over a month since my last post, so my goals for today include cleaning up and posting some back-logged drafts. 

I found my laptop in my work bag this one morning not too long ago, and I nearly took it out. I prefer not to schlep. But I had a vague recollection of putting the laptop in my bag for a reason, and not just to get it out of the way. I debated, but I decided to trust myself, and left my laptop in my bag.

All the way to work, I tried to figure out why I could possibly need the laptop. I had nothing saved to the laptop that wasn't on my desktop at work; I didn't have any outings to client offices planned. But what was done was done, and the laptop was with me. 

As soon as I sat down at my desk to sign in, it hit me: I need IT to fix audio issues in video conferencing software that a handful of my clients like more than I do (Zoom just works, why can't Microsoft Teams just work???), and I think there's a chance IT will take over my desktop while they do that! Well done me, trusting myself even when I don't know why.
