Historically I’ve posted here after Viget’s quarterly events, and since it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything at all, I thought this might inspire me to get back into the blogging flow (it’s been a busy summer). 

Emily just posted on Viget’s blog some thoughts about what she learned from last week’s Third Third Thursday event.  I admit that I was hesitant at first about the ropes course idea — it just seemed a bit too contrived for me as a team building exercise.  In hindsight, though, I must say … good stuff.  It was fun and exciting (and a lot of hard work) and I felt a real sense of accomplishment finishing what at first seemed downright impossible.  More than just me, the fact that everyone finished — even some folks that had to overcome real fears around heights and giant semi-stable wooden structures — was great to see.

Of course, the highlight of the day was backing up my long-standing claim that I’m still Viget’s Fastest Human.  And since I’m only getting slower these days, even though we’re hiring, fast people need not apply.
