Before you read what I write. Read who I am.

Originally from Alberta and in the last number of years having been living in Vancouver, British Columbia. We are now living in Woolwich, London where we inhabit a wonderful little 2 floor flat in the Royal Arsenal. The family has grown over the years from being just my wife and I to the family of four we are now. My work has brought us to London for the next two years where for the first time in ages we will live in the same house for more than a birthday. The experience is written below from then till now. With a view of the Thames from our windows and boat ride to work the new life begins.

Another day, another ride.

So the other day I went to a kickoff meeting at my corporate headquarters. It was mostly sales team people and marketing. The tone of the whole meeting was 'You suck, sell more'. While I would expect this from a sales lead organization but the tone of the whole thing was almost abusive. I'm told that the person doing the talk is normally like that and everyone just sorta accepts it and moves on. Not an environment I could put up with let me tell ya.

After I embarrassed a good portion of the team with a question no one was able to answer effectively in front of the management team I decided to give my opinions on the forecasting of the company vs my views on consumer desire to the European manager. He did ask what I thought of the whole thing... I've always been really good at sliding right in to a company and not standing out. :)
