"Now, don't be sad…."
A good walk with Lauren, even though there were lingering tensions over the whole blow-up the previous night. The 'stoic' mindset is working well for me in this regard. Work was engaging and focused as it has been. Lunch with Marlin got punted out due to some autoimmune issues. That's disconcerting. I ended up having a direct conversation with Donna instead about the possibilities and my ideas about growth options. I'm hoping to have that conversation Monday before I talk to Tempo.

I had a good call with Jeff this afternoon, discussing all of the things on my plate for 2022 and concerns. Ultimately it's not a deal-breaker. I'm thinking about the options in total including a possible CPO target and a transition to proda uct-based focus. I have some more thinking to do. I spent lunch at SRC revisiting Linda, solo this time. She was the same as last night, but at least today, she was not hunched to the right. She was still not responsive, still a deep sadness in her eyes (interpretive on my part). The only utterance was a stunning surprise. I said "Hey Linda" suddenly as a thought came into my mind and she replied, "Hey Geoff." That was validating, as it's been some time since I could get her to say my name. Yet there it was. Beyond that point, before or after, nothing but painful stares or looking away. I have started conversations with her sister about the 'final steps.' The evening was initially going to be just Jen and I having some downtime, but Mark and Wendy invited us to come to hang out, which we did.
I'm looking forward to a well-paced day tomorrow without too many demands on my time for a change.
Gratitude: The option to talk to a company and have them interested in my being on their team.
