Angela put up an album of pics from our Columbus Zoo trip this weekend.

I have a follow up question to the daylight savings thing. Why do they then air the NCAA Men’s Championship game so late on a Monday night right after we’ve switched to DST? I realize that to those of you on the West Coast this is a good thing, but I’m on Eastern Time and it means I had to stay up to almost midnight to see the Syracuse win after already being tired from adusting to the new time. Not that I’m complaining, I’ve been a ‘Cuse fan since I was little and my uncle was in school there, so I was quite happy to stay up and see Jim Boeheim finally get his national championship! Yay Orange!

    Every poor manager I’ve ever dealt with has been a poor communicator. Almost every shortcoming or problem I’ve seen people have with a manager or coworker could be filed under a problem with communication. It’s THE thing in the workplace. Ideas, expectations, priorities, and everything else in the workplace come down to the ability to communicate. If you cannot communicate clearly, you are lost, and the people who work for you or lost.

    Yet how many organizations promote the top performer or their most senior individual contributor without ever considering whether they are good communicators? And how many prioritize teaching them how to communicate as managers?

    Looks like those of you who’ve been waiting on something from Lavasoft since they seemingly abandoned Ad-Aware version 5 are in for a treat.

    Back home tonight, unloading pics from various sources, CF and SD cards, pics that had already been transferred to the laptop, etc. I took a lot more film than usual for this trip, mostly because I had a disposable water-proof Kodak that I was using while in the ocean. We’ll see how those turn out…
