A role to play, a game to learn, a life to live

Fortunately, this is an experiment. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I'm trying to demonstrate. 

My boss once suggested he was expecting me to blog. That was news to me, possibly good news, only - he had suffocated and stifled my voice, treating it of no account, for too long. It had become a poor, thin excuse for a voice, a voice that wavered knowing the buzzards of judgment were pre-emptively swooping and beeping. Intermittently dis- and re-appearing, with effort. 

Still. Writing can be a good way to discover where I'm at. It clarifies muddle; it's fun to play with words. It feels like an opportunity; a tool and a school. 

I want to take people places they may not otherwise go. Ooh, la la, really? Why?

P S I'm discovering my new role over these next months.  It's been fun so far; I've felt well-received and I've enjoyed being recommended by friends, industry colleages and acquaintances. What I want is a matching excitement on both sides of the new partnership - me and my new boss. And a big but congenial role where I make things happen, and grow my effectiveness muscles through just the right amount of overuse.
