CEO Intern Cast Diary

Hello ladies and gents I know it has been a while since my last blog but I haven’t forgot about you. I have just been thinking so much that my fingers have been paralyzed. Since we last spoke I have been through a weekend and two days of work. On the weekend I went out for my first ever game of golf. It goes without saying that I am not tiger, even though I promised nick that I would go three under par my first time out. I did not go three under par and that’s all I will say about the score card. In addition to the cheers from Mr. Paulin and nick I felt that I took to the game fairly well, I need to work on my drive, keeping my head down, my short game and well in a nut shell I need to practice. The day after golf Mr. Paulin took the whole team to the whole team to six flags. The rides were ok, they are no longer my favorite part of the theme park thanks to age. Not saying I am old though just saying that having my head smashed on rubber gets old fast, now I prefer to play the carnival style games, the ones where someone takes your money and you either shoot water or throw rings to try and win something worth less than what you paid. There is some level of irony present now that I have realized roller coasters don’t excite me as much as they used to. The irony stems from the fact that I was ecstatic when I found out that my empress has never been to six flags in her twenty odd years on this earth; knowing that I offered to take her to six flags for the first time once I returned home. Now that I know she has never been to six flags and I don’t like rides as much, it will be funny to see the expression on my face when we are standing in line.

The week started with six flags and continued with my special delivery also known as insight. The gift of insight was sent by the one and only management guru Mr. Paulin. The gift was given as solution to a subtle conflict that I was having with the group dynamic. Earlier this week I spoke with Mr. Paulin and explained my disdain with where the group interactions and leadership are heading. He helped me understand that some of my concerns stem from an individual bias. When I heard this the first thing that came to mind was “DUH, why didn’t I think of that,” but of course I didn’t think that because, well who points the finger at themselves first. I know how important personal development is, since mom has stressed it to me all my life. My advice America is simple, go out and buy a pair of mirror tint aviators and hold them up to your face. Don’t put the shades on, instead turn them around and tell me what you see. Irie I, One Love. Charlie H.
