The Rundown
December 8, 2008 | by Zach | Permalink
Happy Monday all!
When my last blog left off I was preparing to leave for Chinle, AZ for an FBLA speaking event at the local high school. It’s been an eventful 4 days since then. Here’s the quick rundown.
I left for Chinle on Wednesday afternoon and I have to admit, I wasn’t looking forward to the drive. In spite of all my road experience, doing a 6 hour drive by myself is still a daunting task. Luckily about an hour into the drive I remembered… road trips are dope. Some wouldn’t consider the drive between Phoenix and Chinle scenic. Those people are not looking hard enough. It was a beautiful drive and the smaller Arizona towns are a trip. Going through Holbrook definitely reminds you that reality is a relative term dictated entirely by who’s your occupying at any given moment.
The presentations themselves went well. Chinle High’s FBLA Chapter was incredibly accommodating and really took care of me. The students were engaged and polite, although I have to admit by the sixth presentation I think we were all a little burnt.
On Friday, still in a post Chinle haze, I attended the inaugural class of our 18 month Jobing MDP Program. The MDP is an internal talent development program focused on team work, business strategy and Jobing. If the first weekend was any indication it’s gonna be a tremendous experience and a lot of work. I’m excited to see how it develops.
Even with this work filled weekend I still found some time to embrace the frivolous. First of all I caught the second half of the U of A - ASU football game. I’ll leave out the gory details for the benefit of my local constituency. What’s truly important is that U of A is going to the Las Vegas Bowl. I will be there.
Lastly I put up some Holiday decorations on Sunday. We opted for lights and a Christmas tree deciding they both should be in the front yard, so we can really share the spirit. It looks good and it made us wonder, why don’t more people do a tree in their front yard for decoration? I assume we’ll find out.
So that was a quick rundown. Eventful yes. Interesting… hard to say. God bless the blog.
