Since it's been a few weeks since my last post, I should talk about what's been happening. That would make sense- I'm not gonna.
Instead, I'm going to talk about what I've learn over the recent weeks.
Like for instance, It is actually possibly for a Lava lamp to go 'bad'. As in the 'lava' sits at the top and doesn't move.
Or that Spagetti Factory doesn't stay open through the transition part of lunch and dinner. That one hurt a bit, I was looking forward to some good 'seggiti.
But the main thing I've learned over the last few weeks is bit harder on me- Communication is a delicate thing and when it fails, a lot of other things can fail. And right now- My communication skills are fine (save for my blogging), but unfortunately, communication is a two way street.
Failures to communicate can be as small as forgetting a word in a email or as large as a job offer going by the wayside because the person didn't call. And it can affect a lot more than the email by missing that one word.
So my final word is this- We live in a society that can communicate very easily yet there is still a lot of missed connections. Let's work together to fix that.
My extra final word (and also to make this post not as depressing)- I'm going to be printed in the Metro Pulse (local paper) this thursday for my AD for the Knoxville Sports and Social Club (click for link). It was a school project that I offered to do. The good people over there loved my idea and let me run with my idea. The good folks at Blaicher Photography also helped me as well. (again click for link) Maybe this will get my advertising career off the ground.
Til next time,
