At dinner the other night with Crabes and Folds Robert was saying how his daughter was into the metrics and hustle aspects of her sales job. Upon reflection, I must admit that dig that stuff too. Hence my obsession with the wide array of numbers about which I've written over the years: grades, weight, gas mileage, number and regularity of blog posts... and most recently my rankings in the various leagues of Duolingo.
Of course I know that it's all kind of stupid and bespeaks a focus on external rather than intrinsic aspects of my character, perhaps even a hole inside, but it does make getting through the work day and week easier if you have something to keep score of. That's all.
