I have a new team manager to report to. Her name is Crystal and she’s pretty cool. My former boss Eddie had me assigned to her because he said I was very vital to his recent success in Enterprise when he joined through the Education merger. It’s flattering. Besides, I want Crystal and the several others to feel welcome. The working world has no shortage of jealousy, ill will and crap I could live without. Why inflict it on others? We are hitting it off well, we share similar philosophies on encouraging the team by positive, empathic means. I hope to have more great entries regarding our mutual successes.
The other factor for the delay has been the blitz of awesome things I’ve attended and done. This recent weekend in Austin alone was nuts! Austin Wizard World (Comic Con), ACL Fest Weekend One (I refuse to go and I hate it), UT getting clobbered by Baylor and three pre-season games for my champion Stars. Yet I managed to find a decent parking spot Saturday afternoon near the Austin Convention Center without paying ACL Extortion Rates. Go figure. Oh, I attended just two, I think you can guess safely which.
October will rage on until I think Novemberish. An OK Go concert, multiple Stars’ games (they were looking good on the blue line and in goal), a weekend in Dallas (more on this later), a few birthdays and two book signings. Not to mention all the overdue stories I will get posted if it kills me.
I’ll close with a wonderful surprise I saw in the comment box. A post from a stranger that wasn’t spam! He stumbled upon my story about meeting Mojo Nixon in 1989 while looking for those funny concert shirts the artist had in the Eighties. I wrote this story five years ago! It’s nice to see Google results not being evil.
Onward with posts old, new, ongoing and scheduled!
