08.27.08 Changing Hats And Heading Home

Today I changed hats from artist/speaker guy to Compassion Bloggers guy for a morning of meetings. I’m not used to corporate culture so I had to giggle a little (in my head, of course) at all the acronyms and long titles thrown around. One of my tasks today was simply figuring out what all those acronyms mean, who does what in marketing and on-line at Compassion and how it all fits together with what we’re trying to do with bloggers. I think I’ve got it now. I have a flowchart and everything. Next week I’m buying slacks and a tie. (Shoot me if that ever really happens.)

Now I’m about to board a flight home. It’s been a long time - too long - since I’ve played with my kids and held my wife. Don’t expect much from me here for the next couple days. I’m unplugging and dating my family when I get home.

See you in a few.

It’s okay, Shaun. We laugh at our acronym obsession out loud all the time. It’s pretty ridiculous.

Done being B.M.O.C. and taking the red eye back to your homeys/B.F.F.s. Proving once again you are a MWWF - trust me I wouldn’t have a clue about these except for a 15 year old friend who translates for me! LOL
Enjoy your time with family - no Laboring on Labor Day!

I have a somewhat personal question to ask of you but if you could answer it, I’d greatly appreciate it.

I have a friend who is totally against everything that Compassion and World Vision do. Why? Because she’s convinced that music artists get “kickbacks” for every child they manage to get sponsored. Is this true? Can you clear this up to put her mind at ease?

I’ve got a great answer for you, Kate. But you’re gonna have to wait a couple days. I’m on a break and I’m not supposed to be here. Shhhh. Don’t tell.

Hey Shaun,

I work for Compassion Netherlands as marketing Director and don’t wear ties either. Stay encouraged!

Becky - I have to agree with you on that one. I laugh at my “habits” on a daily basis, it’s just an expression of our originality.
