How geeky is it that I’m actually kind of excited that I just got asked to prepare a presentation on what a process is, why processes matter, and how to be a process owner?
How geeky is it that I wrote this blog entry first instead of getting started on said presentation? (Hey, it has to ferment in my brain!)
How geeky is it that, in everything from the musical 1776 to biographies and letter collections to recent discussions of the Federalist Papers and how they relate to the overturning of Propostion 8, I am increasingly seeing what the Founding Fathers did as being rather like both my work and the goals of a lot of communities I participate in online: tackling a project that might be too big for you; getting agreement from a wide variety of people with a wide variety of opinions; teasing out all the implications of what you’re doing (that’s what the Federalist Papers are – and also what the feminism discussions on Ravelry and the racism discussions on LJ are); and trying to foster change that will stick, across a wide and diverse organization or group of people? I take it as some comfort that the Founding Fathers more or less succeeded.
How geeky is it that almost the entire paragraph above is a single sentence? It’s got three commas, a colon, three semicolons, a dash and a question mark, but I believe it’s actually grammatically correct and not a run-on. More or less, anyway.
How silly is it that I heard myself complaining yesterday because I *only* have 18 remaining days of vacation time this year? Otherwise known as “more days than I ever had for an entire year in the US”?
How silly is it that this post has been sitting on my screen for a day because I never got arouns to actually posting it yesterday?
