No matter how mundane my life gets I must remind myself that every day is different.
My present work entails me doing a routine, which can get pretty old at times, even though I hardly ever interact with the same people. This seems unlikely, because I interact with hundreds of people a day.
I've noticed that people exposed to a structured situation react in predictable ways, a fact well understood to business people, who are the designers, the meticulous crafters of Structures, but even so, there are people who appear within Structures known as Outliers.
Outliers are people who don't react in the anticipated manner. Outliers usually cause Situations, which have to be Handled, and that calls for Inventiveness. Even if ten thousand people have done the procedure in a similar fashion, and you think you've seen it all, you haven't- because outliers happen. They just do.
Outliers cause the events that are talked about afterward at work, they are the people that stick in your memory. They are either fondly recalled or they have you doing some processing when the work day is over.

So you never know. Days could go by and no outlier situations and then two in one day, or even three. But it's usually one or two outlier situations per day.
Today I am again at work, and yesterday presented me with little in the way of new, no outliers surfaced, so I guess I'll see what happens. It's all I CAN do. Meet the day.
But I'm not going to work just hoping. I project what I would like to see happen in my day, I set intention out there. I actively participate and never accede to events 'just happening'.
After that I meet the day. I can't control what happens, but I've at least placed an order from my menu. And it's a tall order, 'cuz I dream big.
I guess you could say that I'M an outlier then, because when I place that order, it's NEVER off the menu of what The Structure is offering.
