appropriate training and professional development activities for next year?
I, Perkins, will endevour to attend each and every conference located near a Buffista. Thus, I will only be in the office approximately 3.7 days in 2010.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Big meeting we had to dress up for is done. They served enough food that I can spoil lunch, but probably not enough to be lunch. Random food too. Nothing as tasty as msbelle's or kat's.
I ran the team meeting yesterday instead of New Guy. We spent the start of it in hilarity about the horribleness of living in the Midwest (ribbing on the team member that calls in from Minnesota). It was pretty clear that this only happens when I run the meetings. I don't think it's a black mark on me (Boss didn't come in for that part of it, so he never need know).
ita, is New Guy behind you a permanent thing? Or just temp? 'cause that sucks.
I've never understood the point of mission statements.
The problem is that so many of them fail to meet the criteria for good mission statements: clear, memorable and measurable. The last two places I worked had mission statements with "world class" in them, e.g. "become a world-class electricity provider." What the hell does that mean? Given the right criteria, anything can be world-class. I am a world-class person named Ginger posting on this board.
Permanent. I'm really bitter about it.
My b.org screen is styled to remove most of the colour and graphics, so I'm not going to restrict my use here much, but other twitchy browsing is going to be curtailed.
Bah! It's just how I work. Dip into work, break brain out.
I often enjoy hilarity in meetings! When the work gets done and the meeting doesn't run long.
My org's official mission statement is really more of a vision and/or tagline. But whatever, it's punchy, at least.

When I run meetings there's always hilarity. I think it's a great team bonding tool.
I don't think we have a mission statement. But we also don't have a logo or a website.
I think it's a great team bonding tool.
Absolutely.
I think it's a great team bonding tool.
It is. Totally.
My team updates (three people) often started with a reality TV roundup, mostly for the benefit of the one of us who worked from home -- I knew she appreciated the "water cooler" chit-chat.
