Jonathan's L'Homme Page

I suspect I'll ramble on about things I seem to think about a lot, religion, politics, music, and my new life as a family man. Feel free to leave comments, but PLEASE, no proselytizing or witnessing or emotional rants.

Name: jotaeme
Location: Austin, Texas

I'm a technical writer for a large multi-national corporation. I have a wife and two small children. I was born in Austin, but moved around a lot from the time I was three (mainly in Texas) before settling back to Austin in 1993. Family life keeps me home quite a bit these days, but I still enjoy going to see live music whenever possible and seeing black-humor comedies.

Perplexed


I caught myself saying to myself today "I hate it when things I do work and I don't understand why!" The situation was work and I did something and it made no sense to my why what I did would work. In fact, it was the exact opposite of the way I was expecting it to work.



I think there is a lesson in there for me. Does it really matter? (Well, at work it does, because I have to explain what I did and I can't.) Should it take away from my basking in the glory that it works? Should I try and think about what I did and figure out why it worked? Or should I just go on and find the next thing to work on? I tend to overthink and this was a perfect example of it. What I should say is "That worked. Good for me."
