A toast to people who save time

Things are going wrong. I've come to see my blog as a luxury, not a neccessity. I'm a workaholic, but recently things have been overwhelming.

This made me think of how much I really appreciate people in my home and worklife who:

• invisibly see what needs doing, and do it;
• give me clear directions about how to get to places;
• write brief emails, with their contacts at the bottom;
• pay attention to my Skype or MSN status;
• talk to me about poetry or sex, rather than telling me that I really should take time off;
• do as they say they will, without me reminding, asking, pleading or begging them to do it;
• keep the action moving forward without trying to find fault or blame;
• pause to check assumptions.
• remind me about things I've forgotten;
• forgive my forgetfullness - and other human failings.
