I heard a phrase earlier this week, It was struck me hard.

The Metaphorical Three Deaths

• The First Death: The physical death of a person's body, when their heart stops beating and they are no longer alive.

• The Second Death: The physical burial of the body.

• The Third Death: The symbolic death that occurs when a person's name is spoken for the last time, a concept that suggests a life is not fully over until the last person who remembers it has passed on.

Why this caught my eye, is that I keep a minimum of two days a year for remembrance of my Mother, Grandmother and Grandfather. I take the vacation day off from work, go to Mass and put flowers on their crypts. I also, I will take a half day on All Souls Day for Mass.

These three were there for me even when, at times, I was a little shit. I was there for all three of their first and second deaths. As it stands, their third death will not happen while I am alive.

I think it is important, to remember those who came before. Honor them. They may not make it into the history books. They will cried over like some celebrity will be. They are still important.

Merry Chrismas

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirin′i-us was governor of Syria. And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.

This is something I found in my work confluence space. It was dated: Sep 11, 2019. I don’t remember why I put this in there. All I know is that it good information

I think of all the sections, project failure is the one to watch out for. As a government worker, the ones in bold are the big ones.

• What is project?

  • Temporary in Nature, endeavor to create a unique product, capability or result.

  • Project has start/end date, expected output

• Project Failure

  • Lack of Leadership, no one in charge or everyone

  • Lack of Stakeholder buy-in

    • Stakeholder is anyone who is affected by the project. Includes those who may stop it.

  • Poor scope definition

  • Project strays from its original goals

  • Unclear outcomes/expectations

  • Changing standards

  • Insufficient or mismanaged resources (budget/labor)

  • Poorly defined or unrealistic timeline

  • The project plan lacks structure and detail

  • The project is not tracked against the plan

  • Inadequate or non-existent testing with end user

  • Project team is not communicating

  • Political infighting.

• Project Management Life cycle

  • Initiate
