Her name is Crystal and she&#8217;s pretty cool. My former boss Eddie had me assigned to her because he said I was very vital to his recent success in Enterprise when he joined through the Education merger. It&#8217;s flattering. Besides, I want Crystal and the several others to feel welcome. The working world has no shortage of jealousy, ill will and crap I could live without. Why inflict it on others? We are hitting it off well, we share similar philosophies on encouraging the team by positive, empathic means. I hope to have more great entries regarding our mutual successes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The other factor for the delay has been the blitz of awesome things I&#8217;ve attended and done. This recent weekend in Austin alone was nuts! Austin Wizard World (Comic Con), ACL Fest Weekend One (I refuse to go and I hate it), UT getting clobbered by Baylor\u00a0<i>and\u00a0<\/i>three pre-season games for my champion Stars. Yet I managed to find a decent parking spot Saturday afternoon near the Austin Convention Center without paying ACL Extortion Rates. Go figure. Oh, I attended just two, I think you can guess safely which.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">October will rage on until I think Novemberish. An OK Go concert, multiple Stars&#8217; games (they were looking good on the blue line and in goal), a weekend in Dallas (more on this later), a few birthdays and two book signings. Not to mention all the overdue stories I\u00a0<i>will<\/i> get posted if it kills me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I&#8217;ll close with a wonderful surprise I saw\u00a0in the comment box. A post from a stranger that wasn&#8217;t spam! He stumbled upon my story about meeting Mojo Nixon in 1989 while looking for those funny concert shirts the artist had in the Eighties. I wrote this story five years ago! It&#8217;s nice to see Google results not being evil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Onward with posts old, new, ongoing and scheduled!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a new team manager to report to.
