Sick As A Dog

Well I failed to avoid the nasty virus being spread around my house. Damn kids. High fever, sore throat, nasty cough, and congestion reigned last night. This morning is an Ibuprofen and decongestant morning. I am just trying to make it to Saturday without collapsing at my desk.

I wanted to clarify something from yesterday, as my post may be a bit confusing. I have had mostly positive feedback personally, from the management and upper level editors from both directories I contribute too. I think most of the uncomfortable feelings are created through whispers (third party comments, he said-she said) things as well as some mis-understood sarcasm or ribbing on both sides. I wouldn’t classify anything I have dealt with as hostility, rather just an uncomfortable situation. Its perhaps even possible that the passers on of the whispers have their own agendas, and I take it all with a grain of salt.

The bottom line is, no one should make a mountain out of an ant hill. This isn’t something thats really an issue, unless someone is breaking the rules/guidelines somewhere and neither side wants that to happen and both actively strive to prevent it. I have been asked privately several times over the last week, if I am leaving the ODP. The answer is an absolute, NO. It is my first love and my primary focus. The BOTW is great though and worth a share of my free time. Its so refreshing sometimes to just be able to edit without worrying about other things. Thats not saying I would trade the other things for anything. I am so proud to do what I can for both projects and look forward to working jointly with them to make everyone’s experience good on both sides.

DMOZ = Good
BOTW = Good
BOTW + DMOZ = Best of both worlds, IMO.

My new motto for the week: Chin up and try to enjoy the day!
