An open letter to all the young men who were, are, might, or may decide to date my daughters...
Dear Knucklehead,
A friend once told me that there was a reason God gave daughters to guys like me. I’d like to share it with you.
Ready?
I know you because I was you. There isn’t a thought or a scheme or a dare that you have had that I didn’t when I was your age.
Consequently my young friend(s) I know best how to protect my daughters because I know what to look for, and more importantly I know how, and where to find... I'll just say solutions.
Don't you hate it when you bust your behind on something, but then you get missed completely when the props are given out? I know I do. So... I added this correction to the previous post containing information about TechConnect Ohio, but I'm of the belief that corrections should hold the same place in the headlines as the original headlines.
Now, I do plan to do a little wrap up on the entire event, but I believe a miss like this deserves it's own space...
So...
I received a message last night that I have missed somebody and folks, I hate that.
So, let's fix it right...
Let me tell you about Jodi Hoye. Jodi is the one responsible for recruiting, communicating, orchestrating and caring for ALL the sponsors who agreed to sign-up and attend this event. She managed this entire event from start to finish and is a key to this events success going forward. In fact, I've been told this would not have happened with out Jodi Hoye's involvement, and how I missed that is completely beyond me.
Jodi's named responsibility was Sponsorship and Business Development. She did much, much more. Without question, Jodi was "instrumental" to the program's success, and Jodi if you're reading...
So, the blog has been dark for a bit... Here's an explanation...
If you cannot see the video, click here. While we're rolling. if you have an embarrassing story or online gaffe you'd like to share - fire away in the comments.
Okay, so the question not answered in the video is No, I did not get the job. It may have been because of the phone, but then again...
I just don't think so. For the record for any future potential employers coming by the blog, I LOVE - huh...
What too much?
Okay, Talking on the phone for business and talking to your Uncle whom you love dearly, (in case he's reading) but does not know how to talk on the phone and / or hang up are completely separate issues. Business very often needs to be face to face or voice to voice if you will, and I am absolutely okay with that interaction.
Alright, before I call it a day and because I am talking about jobs I want to talk about something I have going on tomorrow that is pretty cool.
I am a member of the Communications and Satisfaction team for Tech Connect Ohio. This is a terrific program put together by Dan Harris with the assistance of Rocky VanBrimmer in only about 4 weeks I might add.
From the website: In an effort to support these, (Central Ohio technology driven) companies and advance Ohio' s tech initiatives, promote the jobs available and help experienced tech professionals, recent graduates, and interns find and secure these important positions TechConnect Ohio was created.
So really, how cool is that?

Daddy, Honey, Coach, Captain. I have an awesome wife and three wonderful daughters. Hockey player, golfer, aspiring writer. Retired from the library after 30 years of public service. My daughters let me think I run the MJB Foundation. I am the Captain of Brian's Bail Bonds Hockey - a position I feel privileged to hold even if it does only mean I make the lines 12 seconds before each game - That's not 15 mind you, but 12 exactly. I enjoy a good conversation with family and friends. I'd like to think I'm "Fiercely" (thanks Christian) loyal. I give when I have and I hold on when I don't. My family is everything to me.
