#iMovie won't start; Reports being updated; #AppStore says INSTALLING
I tried to launch iMovie and it told me it was being updated. I hopped over to the "Updates" section of the App Store, and iMovie was nowhere to be seen as far as needing updated. So, I just searched the App store for iMovie and sure, enough, it showed that iMovie was presently being installed.
No, it wasn't. At least, not that I could tell.
So, I started poking around online, and though many people have/had the same problem, none of the offered solutions worked for me. So, I dug deeper on my own MacBook.
A look through running programs revealed that neither updates nor iMove were running. What the heck!?
Okay, so I looked at the Applications folder. Sure enough, there was an iMovie icon that appeared to be a download in progress. It had an "X" to click, so I did.
That launched the App Store with a prompt to "Cancel Update." So, I clicked that.
Ironically, what that did was actually kickstart the iMovie update again.
So, as I write this, my iMovie update is once again being downloaded...

Leadership styles handout with four categories. Participants were asked to rank them in order from "most like me" to "least like me."
I ordered them as:
- Troubleshooter (orange)
- Stabilizer (gold)
- Visionary (green)
- Nurturer (blue)
Use the colors to help put people in the positions that suit them best.
Have a team made up of all colors, focus on the goal of the team.
Don't always hire "you" over and over. Diversify your team, employees
