'The Killer In Me'
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.
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.

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.

I don't think we have anything in common like that in any of my teams. With the business users we drift to other topics, maybe travel, but we haven't gotten to entertainment. Frankly, after seeing the scant Netflix queue of the one guy, I'm in no rush to out myself.
The techie business analyst guy and I sometimes talk offscript about tech stuff, and he checked his phone and brought up a 3D version in some movie franchise I hate and he said "So you don't like science fiction?" I just told him they needed to make a 3D comic book movie and I'd be right there. But what I was really thinking was that he was days behind on the movie news. IO9 had broken it way before.
Today's lunch is TJs prepacked mango, red quinoa, and chicken salad, which has baby spinach and coconut chili dressing.
It's pretty awesome.
Oh, my god, that sounds good. Why have I never had access to a Trader Joe's?
