Quote of the Day: My co-workers were chatting about who should confront one of our more difficult and obnoxious clients in order to “gently, but firmly put him in line”. My name was quickly suggested by one coworker and he said, “she can have this level of aggression that is not hostile, but cannot be denied. It’s not offensive, but it’s very direct.”
I hope that is a good thing. Actually, it bears mentioning in this regard that I just started a Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management course. So far I am enjoying it more than just about anything else I’ve ever studied and it brings together so many of the other fields in which I’ve already dabbled, i.e., culture, psychology, negotiation, philosophy, ethics, non-violence and logic. We also get to explore the theoretical sides of game theory and law.
I love being back behind a school desk.

Might we see a GSM MBA in your future? Ahh! the memories–an “11 pack,” test nights, when smoking in buildings was still allowed, what fun! I am officially out from behind the desk as of today. Rainbo M.A.

Rainbow! It was fun listening to your comment. When the “I buy, you fly” rule was in effect it was a 10 pack when you both went out.

that is why it was an “11-pack”… only one of us could leave the desk at a time. someone had to watch the copier.
good times. good times.
(congrats on the M.A.!! That is excellent!)
