Ah, another productive Friday. Sometimes I’m surprised at the amount of work I get done on Fridays. A little sunshine, a little Van Halen, WiFi, Coffee, and the work gets done.
This is something that I just couldn’t do in corporate – the dirty secret is that I could have if only allowed to. Working off-site is better than working at home, better than an empty office with a door, better than booking an obscure conference room for the day (week!?).
Just get out of the office, away from home, out where nobody is going to bother you. Try it. You will be amazed.
There is a growing group of professionals over on Facebook. Its a group called Grasshoppers, created by Chris Brogan (Facebook link), and is really a concerted effort in friendsourcing.
The concept is simple, everyone in the group is good at something, has a special skill or resource, and everyone may need something from time to time. As a resource to solve a problem, this is a group where you can ask for help with something and get a response.
Whether it’s just to answer a simple question or to help in a job search – Grasshoppers are there. If you’re interested in helping a friend, or need something, check out the growing Grasshoppers group in Facebook.
As governor, the State Capitol will stand for unity and common sense.
In addition to the POW/MIA flag that has long flown over the State Capitol, we will fly two flags when I am governor: the Wisconsin state flag and the American flag.
