Miscommunication !?!?

Miscommunications are common in every work place but the one thing that can enhance miscommunications in my work place is noise. Working around equipment and trying to use direct connect phones can be a challenge all of its own. Sometimes mistaken are made and other times they are cought in time. Even if a error is made hopefully it isnt bad enought that a quick correction can't do the trick. One error that stands out in my mind is the time a crew working for my Dad was instructed to remove a deadtree from a thick stand of trees. It was dead but from the bottom it was hard to see which was dead or alive. Of course a live tree was cut down leaving the dead one standing. Needless to say our company paid for the removal of the dead tree as well as the live tree. Those types of mistakes are the ones to avoid.

Interview

I was actually looking forward to my interview time, I have been through this process before and I guess I felt a like I was ready. I wasnt really nervios, I just felt better once the process had begun. One question that I wasn't ready for was when Mrs. Angie asked if I had any questions for her. I didnt really know what to ask and then she told me to ask questions that had been given to me back to the interviewer. This would give the impression that I was interested in what was being asked and what the company was doing in relation to the question. If I could change anything about this interview, I would modify my resume then I would ask more questions of my own. This interview actually helped my self confidence and made me feel a little more comfortable about the interviewing process.

Presentations

The 3 presentations that I really enjoyed were by Rob Painter (October 3), Kate Becknell (Lemon Bars Recipe), and Shawn Corey (Officiating Triangle Style). Rob's presentation was interesting because I have always enjoyed those "in this date in history" and partly because I love history and also because sometimes really random things may have happened on any given date. Kates prensentation was enjoyable because she brought in samples of her recipe which is always a winner to me. Lastly Shawn's presentation was entertaining because he broke it down into numbers and facts which is, for someone who isnt a hardcore basketball fan like myself, easy to understand and appreciate.
