Word of advice: Never borrow money to purchase a consumable item.
On Monday I talked about last weekend’s bridge project from the context of communications within the workplace. But that illustration is so rich I just can’t leave it alone. Working on any project with multiple people and personalities will almost always lead to a self-lesson on work ethic. Last weekend was no different.
On Saturday, I had the opportunity to work with some Boy Scouts who were preparing Trojan Park for a huge camping trip next month. There were a total of 8 participants from my unit, and I saw another 60+ people working various projects around the park. My team ended up helping with a trail clearing project – to support some Sea Scout vessels that will be at the camp out, we needed to cut a trail from the park to the Columbia River where they’ll be docked.
I had the chance to spend this past week out of town. Rather than be at work or even at home in front of my computer, I went up to the hills around Mt. Jefferson to camp with the Boy Scouts at Camp Pioneer. With the exception of a little misty/drizzly weather on Sunday, it was a fantastic week! We had sun, clear skies, warm weather, and more than enough fun and excitement to go around.
