Great list...Maybe break a few of them down into some more manageable milestones.

colleagues....should I change it up a bit? I don't know...


Only if that is what you really want to do. Can you keep detaching yourself from the outcomes of all of this AND start to warm things up, especially without him making taking any real steps towards that himself.
