Ghosts
I had a slight chill today; I was returning from a news release and was walking towards the Metro. I glanced up when climbing some stairs. There was a man climbing down who greatly reminded me of the one who taught me so much when I got started in this business, and who died of AIDS a few years ago.
It was particularly timely because it had been a rough session getting the news out with a trainee. I have to remember how difficult his job is to do, and to have more patience with those less experienced in handling data than myself. My own deficiencies were certainly on display this morning and I shouldn't be too hard on others.
So today I met the ghost of my teacher, and the ghost of myself 13 years ago. I'm feeling haunted.
