on the job

One of the things I enjoy about my work is I get the chance to scan, browse and read our books at OMF Literature, just to get a 'feel' for the themes and kinds of books we have published and to understand how to better market them. Right now, I'm going through our Professional Growth titles - books about leadership, working excellently, teamwork in the marketplace, etc. I'm trying to make a chart of the themes/topics we have addressed in our publications and see what else need to be addressed in terms of working - from entering the workplace to retirement (and sometimes even after retirement) - anything possibly connected with working. Let's see what I come up with.

Interestingly, check out the titles (and guess the themes) of two of our books: 9 Things a Leader Must Do and Never Steal a Paper Clip.

Several friends at the office have already asked about my desktop wallpaper. Thanks to Nixon, who sent me the picture, I have the cast of GI Joe the Movie (coming out in 2009) on my screen. Oh boy, this is one excited boy. I practically grew up with GI Joe - the comic book and even the toy line. On some days, an average of once a month, I would gather with friends and do a GI Joe vs Cobra battle using toys - vehicles, figures - and sewing thread to make sure the shots were more or less accurate. Those games lasted the whole afternoon! Sometimes, for fun, we'd throw in a few Transformers with the Joes and Cobras.

Because GI Joe is a year away, right now I'm looking forward to the Prince Caspian movie. We're skipping Indiana Jones. But we have to watch Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe first. Hopefully this weekend. Then Prince Caspian next week.

I know some of you have watched Prince Caspian already. No spoilers please! Especially you, Glads! :)
