Re-entering society

January 28, 2005 by DaveSchappell

This week has been a whirlwind of professional energy. Early this week, I finally got around to updating my 3-4 year old resume. Why is that such a painful task? I think it is partially because most people do not generally like focusing on themselves, and to make matters worse, you are compelled to paint yourself and your experiences in the most flattering light. I made a comment to Brian yesterday that when I was done I felt like capping it off with “Yes, I did invent the Internet“. After I was finished and thought that it was as perfect as could be, I sent it around to a few friends and asked for their comments. Suffice it to say that I’m not yet done.

Last night I went to a Pub Night for the Northwest Entrepreneur Network, where prospective entrepreneur’s get 3 minutes of mic time to pitch their ideas, tell folks what their looking for, and then everyone mixes, mingles and drinks Hale’s Ale (tasty, tasty). I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I actually really enjoyed it — hearing some of the ideas got that excited feeling going again. Of course, I quickly left so as to not interfere with the rest & relaxation of retirement 🙂

If not a whirlwind, maybe a brief wind twister? A heady wind? A breeze?

p.s. OK, I didn’t invent the Internet. But, I DID define e-tailing!

    Is the Sebastien Badault (possibly a friend of yours) you mention in one of your blogs a Boston College grad from 1994?
