...the more you realize you don't know anything at all...

Onto week #2, I've rented a car, changed hotels, fired up the Mac, visited with my son, picked up my husband and discovered a little more of the area...now the disorientation has set in.

I've always been a little too hard on myself, so the pressure I'm self-inflicting to be amazing for this opportunity is wreaking more than a little havoc on my body. I had my first real true migraine this morning and it took me bawling to my mother about the pain (who experiences them as well) while in the SF airport waiting for Ken to realize that I have to chillax. No, wait. It took me the mother thing and a migraine induced blow-out with Ken to realize I have to chillax.

I have to have chat with Munjal tomorrow. He and the team have been working on Ojos for months now, so it's crystal clear for them. For me, I'm still learning. I'm at a knowledge point between novice user and Ojos team member (probably closer to the former). I'm working on the content of the website right now - the important stuff that outlines the features and how to get maximum use out of Ojos, which has SO many great features. It may be an advantage for me to be writing this content, since users reading it will be at the same level of discovery. Then again, I may be leading everyone down the garden path.

It's kind of like me discovering the SF Bay area. I'm getting oriented, but the more I learn about my surroundings, the more confused I get. There is just so much to take in and I have very little time to do it in. I spent Friday nite and Saturday morning in SF, hanging with a new Italian friend who showed me some really great places. I learnt that I don't like the drive between SF and Sacramento (where Tad is). Then I got cocky and took Tad & Ken into the city in the car. Big mistake. Neither of them got a good impression of San Fran. I think I managed to find every broken down neighbourhood street within the 30 minutes we drove around.

I suppose that in both cases, learning to live with uncertainty and focusing on the gems of wisdom I can glean here and there is the path to enlightenment. And at all costs, avoid focusing on what I still have to learn...
