It's not where you're going, it's where you are
Blimey, it's not like I often write about work. Perhaps 'cos it's a bit like talking about one's dreams. Very interesting unto yourself, but no-one else is really all that interested. Oh sure - the person you're talking to may show a polite interest, but that's just good manners. But anyway, I digress . . . my place of work has recently undergone a, erm . . . image change? Perhaps that's the best way of putting it. As with any major image change, there's always problems, not least the issue of your new identity and how to convey this to others. Perhaps a workplace would do this using suitable slogans. The title of this entry refers to one of these such slogans, only I've reversed the negative on each side of the comma (the original being, "It's not where you are, but where you're going . . . " or near enough), because surely it's not about where you're going, but where you are that counts. I have a book of quotations and one of my favourites is "Today" which was supposedly scratched into a stone, a stone that sat on John Ruskin's desk. Maybe John got it wrong, though. Maybe it should have been "Tomorrow"
