Entrepreneurial Seminar

I attended an entrepreneurial seminar Thursday afternoon as apart of my Right Management benefit. Ideally I would like to own my own (redundant?) business. But man there seems to be a lot of work involved. I didn't really enjoy it. The seminar was way too much about asking the class questions. I'm not there to hear what the blowhards taking the seminar have to say. I'm there to hear what the instructor has to say. But on a positive not the Right Management office is right by the Greenhill school. As I was leaving, I saw the girls field hockey team practicing in their plaid skirts. Which was nice.

Right Management

I finally made it to my "Getting Started" orientation meeting. I'm now a small Laotian boy.

This is a company who's goal is to train and counsel me so I can move forward to the appropriate next step in my career. So I guess they're paying for my penile lengthening and body waxing for my desired porn-star gig.

But seriously folks. The first step is a career assessment test they call the Birkman First Look. And it peered into my dark soul and discovered that I should be a programmer. Gee. Thanks.
My results will be explained and analyzed in a meeting I have on Monday. So stay tuned.
