Introspection

Self-examination.

Not like breast exam in the shower self-exams or nothing like that, but more along the lines of evaluating where ya head is at. So anyways, you're asking yourself, 'is this cat bugging out or what?!'. Nah, b. I got my mind right. Just trying to make sure everything else is in sync as well. Trying to navigate this maze that is TechBoston is becoming much clearer that it will be a tremendously daunting task. There is a lot of work to be done to make sure I adequately cover all bases that my predecessor held down, in addition to picking up where he left off and continue to organize, ocument, and standardize a lot of our operational work much like I (ahem) tried to do at CELT much to my chagrin.

On the flip side, I see so much potential in our stakeholders, from the students, to the project managers, teachers, and TC alumni, to the TechBoston crew, and the clients, partners, and evangelists sprinkled throughout the city. I can see myself doing this type of work for a while. I plan on banging out as hard as I can during this probation period so I can prove my mettle and lad the regular gig. For the downton project, we've had 2 interview already and should have another four completed tomorrow, including a sit-down with the new CIO. So it is definitely a rewarding and simultaneously high-stakes environment. Gotta get the game face on...

And on another note; non-work related. Trying to get back to the introspection, but I guess I'll have to save that for another day. Just got a call from a high school classmate that I've kept in touch with over the years. I usually try to pride myself on the sheer # of people that I keep in touch with. I've been a bit slacking in that category lately, but it is something i need to step up. I'd be hurt to know someone missed hearing from me but was too proud to mention it. But hey, maybe they don't miss me and I just think I'm too fly, right? F-it...better to have said whattup than nothing at all. Just as if you were passing a stranger on the street. Try it for a change. And add a quick head nod in there while you're at it. ShT is real, yo.
