I WROTE A THING! A SPICY THING!

It’s short and smutty and written after a THC lollipop and half of it is Seanan’s words anyway, but I wrote it and I didn’t stop and I looked it over and it’s not beta’d and that’s fine because this is for me! And I’m proud of myself!

So if anyone wants to read it, here’s a short smutty something I wrote for my sad and broken bbys, Liz and Luidaeg.

Scene tag from the end of One Salt Sea, but really, no spoilers.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

So I’m still reading Tidal Creatures right now, but once I’m done, the October Daye reread begins!

And I’ve got my idea for my poetry / character project. I kept thinking of how I could gather everything about the Luidaeg and make it coherent, and then last night it hit me.

I was looking for junk journaling supplies - mainly paper to be used in the book L’s gonna make for me - and I found one that was “in love with the sea” and it was perfect. And I realized I could use all of that and have things from Liz’s point of view. Her love for the sea vs her love for Annie.

I’m excited to read through the Toby books, both leading up to the new book in October, but also as a chance to pay close attention to Liz Ryan and the Luidaeg.

It’s gonna be a lot of fun!

"You were beyond successful — you were feeling strong and competent before you hit the rapids. Toxic workplaces knock your strong and confident memories to bits. Toxic workplaces make you doubt yourself. You were fine before and you still are. You got the wind knocked out of your sails. If it happened to you physically, everyone would rush to your aid. You got the wind knocked out of your sails energetically but the effect is the same. Go easy on yourself. You rule. The next chapter will be way cooler and more exciting (in a good way) than the misery you withstood."

Beautifully written by Liz Ryan. Its the Truth about KPI’s and corporate nonsense about measurables. All anyone should really cares about should be people! Liz puts it perfectly when stating “ we know that people are at their best when they're excited about what they're doing” and  how “KPIs spring completely from fear. They have no business purpose at all except to assuage the fear of higher-ups who don't trust themselves enough to trust other people”

Job Descriptions

I was bouncing around LinkedIn the other day and saw a great piece from Liz Ryan on Job Descriptions. Largely, I think she is spot on with her assessment that job descriptions are totally antiquated and no longer maintain relevance in our new digital age. I have simply come to accept that every position at my company changes monthly, if not daily. Sometimes, you have to be a good task-oriented project manager. Sometimes, you have to be good at cultivating and fostering leadership alignment. Sometimes, you need to be good at listening. Sometimes, you have to know when to stay quiet. Sometimes, you have to know when to speak up. Sometimes, you will be a firefighter. Sometimes, a policeman. Sometimes, you get the picture…

At the end of the day, it would be pointless for me to try and limit my boundaries for any role on my team to a simple job description. Unless that job description says “You’ll probably do a little bit of everything.”

Til Next Time,

Michael
