We’ve been walking that fine line in many places recently. When do we react and step out or when do we just let things go? It is such a difficult line to navigate, and the answer is not ever clear.

Camille has been walking the line with her new job — she’s been hired but hasn’t started yet and communication is slow. How can I help her navigate this well when I don’t know the answers?

I still walk that line every day. When do I step in? When do I step away? As you all know, I listen to the police scanner, and I have a nice view of a slice of Decatur. When do I call 911 … when do I let it go? When a neighbor calls 911, do I step in to help, or do I walk away? I’m never sure what I’m doing is the right thing, but I try to do what I think is right.

Today, I had Rob come out to help me fix a signage issue. We only were restoring the status quo after the Slide the City event, but I still let those in charge know that we were restoring the construction signage, just in case. Overstepping? Or helpful? I like to think helpful, but I’ll never know.
