Integrating Spheres
It has been awhile since I posted, mostly because I was posting only instrumentally as a TA for MGMT 250. What brings me back?
Spheres colliding. No, "colliding" is too strong. I'll call it spheres "melding." That feels better.
Another frame could be that I was unintentionally shamed into making a new post. Let me explain:
My older sister is finally starting to get into life online. As one of her first dalliances into the web, she googled her younger sister's name. I learned of this behavior because she told me...
"Yeah, sis, so I goggled you!"
- "Really! How did that work out for you?"
"Hmmmm... what was the main thing I learned... oh yeah... NO SPELLING ERRORS or you lose credit on your assignment!"
- (blushing) "I am so awesome. I will have to update my blog."
"Maybe not a bad idea."
So we got a hearty chuckle out of the situation. I was reminded of blog-master Jeremy's comments in our intro session that our case blogs can be used as our brands, and, despite my visceral opposition to this way of thinking, I have learned a practical lesson that google and the rest of the universe may be prompting me to in fact be aware of my case blog as creating a first impression of me in people's "background checks."
Where does that leave me? Instead of deleting this page all together, or allowing myself to be most remembered as a nitpicking TA (which would not be an unfair assessment of my role that semester), I will take the opportunity to share the work I have been doing. We'll see how it goes.
