First week using Twitter and it's been fun and educational. I've found that because it's totally open (well almost totally open, there are some security blocks available) I'm finding myself exposed to huge variety of differing views from various sources I never would have come across before.
Another revelation is that because it's a social forum there seems to be two types of posts; real time status updates and then thought provoking statements or links; I'm getting to be more of the social discussion type on Twitter, so I'll reserve FB for status updates for now. The social discussion is very interesting because with the digital/electronic format of Twitter there is a wealth of information posted. It's almost too much to process at times but I've started sorting it into a few categories; funny, golf, digital lifestyle, education/work, and philosophical. Sometimes a post can fit into several categories, namely a post from Julia Roy, this young lady has embraced the digital lifestyle with blogging, vlogging, twittering and generally trying to enhance and promote living digitally.
Since I've recently returned to college, thoughts of what my plans are for after the 4 semesters have been running amok in my gourd. What to do? Where to do it? Why am I doing that job? and sadly How well will it pay?
Over the past winter a realization came upon me in regards to my future working career, I've been looking for the wrong reasons for employment. So I engaged the peabrain and compiled a criteria for my future career:
Is all of that possible right out of the gate after College? I think so as I'll have 3 diplomas; Business Admin Marketing, Materials Management and International Trade. If there isn't something that covers 3 of those 6 criteria, well.... well I'll just huff and puff.. no I'll find something that fits at least 3 of them. It's a starting point and that's important, otherwise I could find myself flipping burgers or pouring coffee, but if it's at a Starbucks that could work, free java? booyeah!
ok just dated myself with that booyeah, no more booyeahs, booyeah! last one, I promise!
Think that's a good start for a Thursday morning, I'll put something up on golfcourse ninja later, after coffee! =)

Over the past winter a realization came upon me in regards to my future working career, I've been looking for the wrong reasons for employment. So I engaged the peabrain and compiled a criteria for my future career:
- ensure I'm working steadily
- having creative freedom in my position
- having time freedom to balance my life between personal, social and work commitments
- working within an industry that is economically responsible
- working for a company that is environmentally responsible
- having a position that embraces technology/digital lifestyle
