Fwork

I heard once that fun is the f in life.  Without it, it’s just a lie. 

That’s why I spell it fwork. 

You can pick which letter is silent.  Or if you survived the siege of Gondor, both can be silent.

That screenshot is from my phone back in 2018. 

At the time, I was attending our monthly, daylong leadership offsite.  A great bunch of senior executives… to this day.  

That was the first time one my favorite people and I started to play a simple game.  We’d text oddball words to one another and see which one of us could first use the other person’s word in their comments to the group.

Improv fun for hours.

And before you question it as distracting, the game actually forced you to pay complete attention to the conversation.  Improv can’t happen without being immersed in the present— constantly open to possibility.

I’ve written a handful of blogs where I mention that this person or that person is “one of my favorites” but I rarely explain why.  

Well… there you go.

Oh and it just so happens that that leader– a friend– just left my firm for his next adventure.  

I envy the people at his next company.

It’s never (ever!) about the destination (at fwork).  

It’s all about the aardvark.
