And if you have an excellent facilitator, as we did, then you can really get a good understanding of why the people you work with are the way they are. When I still worked at the corporate level we did the same kind of offsites so everyone would ultimately understand each other better, and also figure out what their 'true calling' was. It really worked, a ton of people bailed within a couple of months and the guy who organized it got fired.
I can't leave the house without a list or else I wander aimlessly around the city. Exactly. I'm like that at the grocery store too. I have to write out the list by aisle otherwise it's Deer meet Headlights time. And I swear there's no OCD involved...I don't count to some number constantly or flip lightswitches. Honest. I probably have other foibles a therapist would have a field day with though.
The farmer's markets round here have had a ton of okra this season and now I'm even more tempted to pick some up. We've been trying to figure out how come it's become so popular out here this year. I've never tried making a gumbo before. I think I'll go recipe hunting.
And re: Comcast, how come you don't just transfer your stuff off and get a new service with DVR? We got DishNetwork and as far as those things go, they're okay.
