#leadership experience

[chronal-anomaly]

I'm gonna get a little salty real quick on here, but I kept thinking about this for the past few days and it's just driving me mad so.

I'm - and have been, really - annoyed with Tracer's treatment both from the fandom in general and Blizz, especially with the next gen of Overwatch. They cannot, and will not, commit to placing her somewhere and committing to it. And while yes, that's kinda her schtick in a way, a person sliding between times and not really fitting in with either, it's clear that they didn't plan that; they just forgot about her.

Lena was literally leading the Havana mission. She was being overseen by Sojourn, but she was the point woman on it. Her calls, her plans, took down Max. She's seen plenty of combat, more than half the roster if you go by the shorts alone, and yet, there is no talk of bringing her up into leadership during Recall. She was the first one to answer, but oh no, we can't have a Recall unless Cassidy comes in and saves the day - and this is not a hate on Cassidy at all, it's an important plotline for him to go from essentially forced servitude to running the show - but still, she's just considered the 'funky pilot'.

It's canon again and again that Jack had a vested interested in her. She was to Jack what Cass was to Gabe. And yet she is continously overlooked in lore and just in fan stuff. And I absolutely hate to play this card but it does make me wonder that, if she was male, would more people support it??? idk man I'm just super salty today.

tom taylor has truly rotted online disk horse cause wdym people are seriously upset that during an event where heroes lose their powers this guy is the one who starts ordering people around

he’s very bossy and likes being in charge. no of fence but ofc he’s going to lead instead of flash on a motorbike or an aquaman who can’t swim

I wish ‘talks too much about gardening and milkweed but not in an eloquent way and has blogs but not in an eloquent way’ was a job I could be paid money for

Job hunting sucks ass thank you for coming to my tedtalk

[ratatatastic]

you know seeing all the captinancy 4nfo announcements its really funny seeing all the reasonings like this guy can set example for the forwards/dmen respectively, this guy has been part of the leadership core in past iterations of the international team, this guy is already part of the leadership core in their own teams

and then for ek its quite literally just "hes a vibes guy"

The fucking "that's enough slices" video but it's Predaking about Shockwave cloning even more predacons and Predaking keeps finding them out and about

u may ask - why are you so excited for the fast food worker episode? the answer is that I want (read: NEED) to see how these people act in a semi-grounded scenario. lemme peel back their cartoony exteriors and get a glimpse of how they were in the real world. i want to see the contrast between the identities and habits they’ve slipped into as a part of TADC and the previous lives they lived leading up to that point.

where do their current and past identities overlap? where do they diverge? what new behaviors emerge as the cast tries to cope with being reminded of the real world? how do the character dynamics shift? AND what drives a person to pickup something like TADC (an immersive digital experience that provides an escape from the real world) in the first place? I want to know I want to know I want to know

despite having as loaded a past as they do, bioware firing mary kirby is legitimately the most insane decision they've made to date, bar none

A lord would have gold for a certainty, they all did; perhaps he would pay some of Lord Tywin's own sellswords to take her to Riverrun. Father had always said that most sellswords would betray anyone for enough gold. (Arya VII, ACOK)

One thing about Arya, her chapters are going to be casually littered with little lessons and tidbits of information that have proven relevant to characters with leadership positions

brennan 'homeschooled' mulligan heard that student government is just a thing that looks good for college applications and assumed that Riz will jump on it after the mom convo bout college troubles, unaware of how much it is a glorified popularity contest that low charisma pc would never attempt

every byler creator who has ever felt unappreciated or has never seen their work on a rec list or has stayed awake for hours working on something for it to get no interaction or has had their work passed up in favor of the big fandom favorites or has never been taken a chance on or has ever come last in a poll they didn’t ask to be on or has felt self conscious about posting or about calling themselves a creator if what they’re posting is not a magnum opus or has created something for themselves and still hoped deep down that people would love it: get behind me. i’ll protect u

I hope you all know the reason Sanji specializes in observation haki is because he's a cook.

You spend that much of your life working in a kitchen, having to keep track of half a dozen things on the stove/in the oven, making sure they're all done at the same time, being aware of where everybody is around you, and a dozen other responsibilities

Yeah. Observation is just kind of a default state for him at this point.

Empty Church reflections

Last night I went back to church several hours after rehearsal to retrieve something I’d left by accident. I think there was one car in the entire parking lot, and even then I’m not sure anyone was there.

The lights were all on in the sanctuary just like they would be if we were having a normal rehearsal, and the tech booth had lights on, but I think everyone was at dinner. There may have been one person there but I have no idea where they were if they were there.

It was the weirdest feeling. And it was honestly more positive than negative. But I’m still thinking about it.

I peeked out onto stage from the curtains, because I was afraid someone would see me and be either startled or weirded out by me just Lurking. But I wanted so badly to just go stand in the middle of stage and just feel the entirety of the No One Is Here feeling

It’s this building I love and have been hanging around at for 10 years. (I’ve been attending for longer than that but that’s how long I’ve been on the worship team and been familiar with the backstage and stage areas.) And it’s where I often see this team I love with my whole heart.

And also, just the anticipation of Christmas Eve. In the next week, that sanctuary will see probably a thousand people, and honestly probably more than that. We will play through the music for 4 services.

And for a moment, it was just me there. Just one person.

They say that “church isn’t a building,” and that is absolutely true. A church can be a small group of people meeting up anywhere.

But the buildings are special too. There’s something “magical” about them, especially when you’re there alone. I don’t like using that word here, but it feels like the right word. Because it feels “spiritual,” but I don’t like using that word because it’s not that the church building itself is Holy or something, it’s just a building.

But I’ve had talks with friends who agree that the buildings are so special. There’s another church in my area where I grew up playing with my friend on random weekdays and helping my mom decorate her classroom when she worked at the preschool there. Playing in church buildings is a really kind of magical feeling too.

Enjoy some pics of my church the past few years. Most of these are from Christmas services but not all. Just because I’m feeling nostalgic. None of these capture the I’m Alone At Church feeling, but they’re special to me anyway so I feel like including them.

Pic our piano player took of me one Sunday

Fun fact! The lady with the glowing hair is Filipino celebrity Jaya! She attended my church and served on the worship team for probably 2-3 years before moving to a different state. She is the sweetest, most humble famous person who probably ever existed.

This is a moment where we sing Silent Night completely acapella and the singers don’t use their mics, so it’s just the entire congregation singing together with their lit candles raised. Chills every time.

My view from stage a few Christmas Eves ago. This song was absolutely magical and I worked so hard on those runs, and I was proud of how it turned out.

View from backstage, maybe last year (?). It’s funny because this year they put lights on JUST the fronts of the trees so from backstage it looks really funny.

View from the congregation last year. I love the forest of Christmas trees but it actually makes it really difficult to walk around on stage 😅

And my view from stage this year. You can actually see how the Christmas tree that’s almost center doesn’t have lights on the back 😂

One day I will write a longer post about this but in my opinion, part of the real reason Zhen Huan wins in the end is that she was the most effective leader of the harem

Really really love when the HR person who I asked a simple but important question about my layoff over 2 weeks ago and followed up with over 1 week ago and again yesterday apparently does not have enough time to get back to me but does have time to make several LinkedIn posts about leadership skills
