well it was certainly a year

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2024.12.24

2024 was a pale year, on the whole. One brief trip on my own, and one two-day trip with Mari and the kids. And a whoooole lot of work hours. My team got so much done I'd have a hard time doing it justice but we closed more than twenty projects and had a few significant firsts. In short, an exhausting year and I was still plugging away on another effort for February when I cut it short at 17:00 today.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
