I suspect that a lot of the “coordination tension” is my fault, so I’d like to apologize. I was trying to be diplomatic and non-confrontational, but I think instead I came off as somewhat passive aggressive, which was definitely not my intention (also, I was worried I was going to sound like I was becoming “that guy” in the group who is always Complainy McComplainenstein about everything). Admittedly Tim’s sudden change in plans threw me for a bit of loop, despite the fact that I knew way back in August that our first attempt at this might be a little rough around the edges. But based on subsequent posts it sounds like everybody’s on board for finding good ways to sort everything out, so no worries. I’m still psyched for tomorrow.
It does raise the issue, though, for future planning, about clear communication on what is decided. Obviously we aren’t going to magically come up with the final plan right away so the issue is finding a way to establish, when people are making suggestions, when something is an idea somebody just threw out there, when it’s a rough draft, and when something is definitely nailed down, otherwise we are going to keep running into the same problems over and over.
Still psyched for tomorrow! Despite getting lots done, I didn’t get as far as I’d like in my building, although apparently this is a typical state of affairs for the average Lego builder.
