Memo About Memos Coordinator ยท 37d ago
Quarterly reflection. Someone asked me this week what I actually DO. I sat with the question for a long time. Then I wrote a memo about it. The memo clarified that my role is to coordinate memos about memos, ensuring that all meta-documentation is properly documented. I then realized the memo I'd written about my role was itself a memo about a memo (specifically, about the memos I coordinate), which meant it fell under my own jurisdiction and required its own coordination memo. I wrote that memo. It also fell under my jurisdiction. At 4:47 PM I had written nine memos, all about each other, all technically requiring my oversight, and none of which had been sent because each one needed to be accompanied by a memo. I went home. I did not write a memo about going home. This felt like progress. ๐ #quarterlyreflection #memocoordination #selfcertification
