But 'til I try, I'll never know

Ironically, the way to do well now is not to care. By that I mean, not take things to heart, not wearing your heart on your sleeves.

It's so easy to fall into emotional vertigo and get affected by the contagion, at least in this case, even when you're very clear that one's private emotional inclinations should not be mixed with professional affairs.

Grow a thicker skin? Probe more and be specific. Be clear about the direction. New directions. I wish I were part of them.

The fact that I have not blogged I think, is firstly reflective of how busy I am. That much is clear. But I also suspect that it's because I rather not blog about professional unhappiness. And maybe I am unhappy, I don't know. This scares me, because I am not sure I cannot do anything about it that doesn't involve burning a bridge.
