May 27….Do you know where all your bloggers are?
I’m up trying to put together a few slides for a class that I help with occasionally, and I happened to stumble upon this CICS World site. Where’s everybody at?
I see a comment or two from late last semester, but school’s not over yet is it?
Don’t you all still have things to say?
Personally I’m digging on a bit of Dave Matthews and trying to be mellow on a Tuesday, even though really that means I’m prepping all of the terrible things I’ve got to come tell you on Wednesday.
Mostly, I kid. But, don’t stop talking to each other. A year will go by before you know it. Hold on to all of this as an experience. For example, I just had a conversation with a colleague of mine. She’s digging on the consulting business right now and wondered if I had any advice. What did I do? I recommended a memoir, a bit of historical non-fiction, and more than anything a bit of darn good writing: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers.
What does that have to do with ICT? Not much. What does that have to do with sharing ideas and relating to people? Everything. Keep telling stories. Keep sharing stories. Don’t grow old; grow wiser. Use your network. Learn. See you in class tomorrow.
