I had a long crappy day as anyone who might follow my Twitter may have seen. I was wallowing in my own discontent when I met up with Myrcurial for lunch today. The cheshire grin on his face was something to behold. As it turns out, the weasel had been sitting on a rather significant announcement (for the last month) that he alluded to in his earlier posting today.
Myrcurial will be speaking at Last Hope! Very cool brother! His talk entitled, “From a Black Hat to a Black Suit” will be a must see for any propeller heads that have aspirations for a corner office one day.
From the talk summary:
You want it all. You can see the brass ring and you want to jump for it. But you’re scared. You don’t want to put on a suit and watch your soul shrivel like the spot price on RAM. There is another way.In this session, you will learn: why you want to do this to yourself, how to get the first job (which will suck), how to turn the first job into the next job (while still having fun), how to get the top job (sooner than you thought you could), and how to do it all without feeling like a corporate whore. You want to hack the planet? You’ve got to start somewhere.
I’ll be the smart ass in the back crackin wise.
That’s a remarkably accurate picture of me. Pardon me while I mumble my lines to myself in an effort to not completely embarrass myself.
Oh, oh! I have a great sight gag that’ll throw him right off… expect an email shortly. Let the giggling commence.
Always enjoyed that cheshire cat smile! Hey, Dave, do an extra crackin wise, and Harvey, an extra giggle, for me! Gotta keep him on his toes!
