Really?!? ...yes, really.

Ballsy
Adjective for someone willing to take risks, or displays how manly or unafraid of authority and/or getting caught a person is. Also to describe the act of something dangerous or forbidden.
"You snorted cocaine in your junior high girl's bathroom!? That was ballsy!"


Yesterday was a ballsy kind of day. It was just one of those days when all the crap that people say about things that you are already a little disturbed about culminate. So, like any grown person does, I acted on my sentiments. I sent a very professional email to an Executive VP of my company, and copied my boss. It's just something that I thought needed to happen. What the heck. At my level I doubt it would stir up anything. Today, I received nothing in response. ...not surprised. However, my actions did cause a "butterfly effect," if you will. My boss sent a ballsy email to his boss about unrealistic expectations for next year. I approve. It's the business person thing to do. Don't ever roll over when people give you craptastic stuff to do. Instead, approach them with a plan, or an insightful response. In the end, it's what we were made for.

Happy almost Friday!
