We all need a Starbucks...

...to retreat to after these awful sessions, although I don't drink coffee so there's not much for me to like at Starbucks. Sometimes I have this really strong reaction when I leave a session like "she must think I'm an idiot," or "I can't believe I said that." I sort of want to crawl under a rock and never go back there or even ever see my T again.

My best work doesn't happen in those sessions, but frequently happens in the ones after a bad session. It's the post-mortem processing that is probably most valuable, if draining. My bad session was a couple of days ago. Today's wasn't bad, just very hard and draining. It morphed into a session and a half, and now I'm just counting the hours until I can go to bed.

I hope the next one is better. What do you think will happen next time? Will you talk about why this one was so uncomfortable, or will you just forge forward?
