Last Friday I wandered off to the weekly "Caffeine Break" meeting that Craig Jackson organized and have now become something of an institution at the University... Weird feeling, like I am actually in "middle management" now. I've been going to these meetings for quite some time now, but I was pretty much just some random IT guy who mostly sat quietly and listened. Now I'm much more involved in the discussions, and I actually know pretty much everyone there... And a lot of us have moved up in the ranks as it were. Not saying there is a direct correlation between attendance and promotion, but it is really interesting to watch. Have to admit that between that and the peer coaching thing I've gotten myself into a pretty good position for the future there. Kind of a good thing after the last few years prior to Craig and Bart helping me along into Atlas where I more or less painted myself or allowed myself to be painted into a corner in Math. Allowed me to change jobs without walking away from what I built over the years. And now I have actual minions :-)...
Gaming, time for me to get my cardstock drop pods put together since it looks like I'm going to be playing over at Flatcon with Dave in a team tournament... Fleshtearers for me :-) We're just here to air assault and kill things. We hold objectives by being the only things alive at the end of the game :-)....
Excellent news on the networking/coffee break thing. I am always excited to see folks moving into new areas and get rewarded for hard work.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you have a very distinct way of describing how to win at 40K. I would love to be able to pull it off...
:-) Well, I think you'll like the Grey Knights... At the very least, you don't have to pay a penalty to get to useful troops... But, yes, my Fleshtearers are the least subtle army I play in 40K...
