This weekend we held one of our larger events. I was able to spend some time talking to my possible future employer. He introduced me to either the supervisor of music or the superintendent (super-something) from his school, who seemed to be a little too happy to meet me. I guess that can’t be a bad thing. This possibility looks better and better each day.
Today, however, I was taken aback as our boss actually thanked us for the work we did in pulling of Sunday’s show. It wasn’t something anyone expected. Immediately following, he ditched us while we were supposed to have a department meeting.
Later today, he invited me to go to a seminar with a few other coworkers. This seminar was basically an introduction (or sales pitch) for the “Forum.” I had heard some horror stories about the “Forum” but I decided to take a look anyway. I’m not quite sure what to make of it… the presenter seemed to use a lot of terms that didn’t make much sense, but “felt” good, such as “yes to life,” “possible possibilities” and some other random catchphrases. Since my boss offered to pay for half, I decided to go ahead and register for the “Forum” which is three days of intensive soul-searching, followed up with an evening session two days later. I could gain something out of this. We’ll see.
I think those are the kind of things where you take out of them whatever you bring to them, you know? If you don’t want to believe it or get anything from it, then you won’t. But you generally have a good attitude and an open mind, so it should be very good for you.
How much does 3+ days of soul-searching cost?
You’re going to go to 3 days of soul-searching, and then quit your job. George may never let anyone go to one of these seminars again. 🙂
It costs $350 total. I’m paying $175. It might be worth it, we’ll see.
Again, I was gonna say something, but it would come out as tacky double entendre.
