Coordinating -or- On Herding Adult Cats

The majority of my professional time these days is spent chasing my tail.  I'm actually not complaining, I guess I should say that I am pretty sure I've always been chasing my tail, it's just more obvious these days.  Coordinating people and projects is a passion, and I recognize that it isn't one everyone shares.  It's herding adult cats who have no interest in what you offer and are fairly busy with their own interests besides.  

This makes me happy.  Indulge me for a moment.  I like doing things that not everyone else likes to do, it's a strange sense of accomplishment.  I am not saying that I seek the things that are unpopular and specifically do those, it just feels like I always end up in the position of enjoying something that others do not.  Take for instance this whole schtick I've happily fallen into: the vast majority of my time is spent on the phone and emailing following up on things, searching for things, etc.  Then the occassional creative work to keep me happy and we're off again.  Very strange.

Nothing too earth-shattering today, just ponderings.
