10-12-09 Week in review
Shutdown at work...very nice to get caught up.
Tuesday was the worship team meeting and then my first rehearsal. The rehearsal was terrible. I was completely micromanaged without ever being given any real direction. I was ready to call it quits b/c I just couldn't handle the abuse. I went in trying to serve and just got beat up.
The weekend was much more productive. I can't say that I'm happy with my playing. The kit and me are not friends and they want me to play a bit differently than my normal style...I also got in trouble for stick twirling...sorry, that's just me.
I'll give it at least one more try to see how things work out then. I had a conversation with the powers that be. They seemed generally pleased...and at one point on Saturday even seemed generally positive about the experience.
Sunday was Park Lane rehearsal. Got a second case build this week and the interior to the first case complete except for foam.

Monday was our first small group meeting. Good people in the group. We are studying spiritual discipline as a way to deepen our relationships with Christ.
I took the presentation and image refresher this week. It was really good. I also attended a mentoring workshop where I learned I was a dominance type team player that could be defined as a 'developer'. Basically:
Dominance – relating to control, power and assertiveness
Dominance: People who score high in the intensity of the "D" styles factor are very active in dealing with problems and challenges, while low "D" scores are people who want to do more research before committing to a decision. High "D" people are described as demanding, forceful, egocentric, strong willed, driving, determined, ambitious, aggressive, and pioneering. Low D scores describe those who are conservative, low keyed, cooperative, calculating, undemanding, cautious, mild, agreeable, modest and peaceful.
Results, Control, Get Results
Decisive, Direct, Accept Challenges
Impatient, Strong willed
Quick, take action
DEVELOPER Pattern:
Motivated by basically one drive,
the DOMINANCE need.
“Full steam ahead!”
makes me sound awfully ruthless. I agree with some of it but I just think there are more sides to be than that.
Saturday dad visited and we hammered out most of one case. I was a fun time. Sunday I had to get other things done.

I got wood this week for the cases? On the weekend I laminated all the wood and cut all the pieces for the cases. Saturday was quite cool. We headed to the UNI game for some tailgating with the people I work with. UNI was up like 48 nothing at the half so we left.
Friday night we headed over to the Wilks' for dinner. It was a great time. We stayed up too late!

not really sure what went on here...I think some case materials showed up. On Sunday we had the intro to our small groups at chruch. Two of the three new couples dropped out after that meeting...I guess me and Jodi are the only ones sticking it out.

SNL vs. Obama
I was shocked to see SNL actually slam Obama. The media has switched from singing his praises to defending him.

Kinda funny that someone felt compelled to write an article after a spoof on a comedy show!! It's not even real!
