Strokin’ the Ego
This past week, I've been mentoring the new addition to our team at work. In itself, that is a major boost to the old self-esteam being that I'm the most junior member, and I've been selected to bring up the new guy.
My head really inflated today, however; when I learned what my 'apprentice' (for lack of a better noun) thought of me thus far. He has been really happy with what's he's seen, and has found me to be a 'real go getter', and was very happy to have been partnered with me.
The inflation went over the top when, today, we were troubleshooting an issue with the recent M$FT 'change' and we had to recruit some help outside our team. Being the technology savvy company that we are, we use the Microsoft Network to avoid having to walk down the hall. As the trainee looked over my shoulder, he noticed the Evil Scientist that Mark and I took. Somehow, he managed to mistake me for Bruce Campbell, and followed by saying how good of an actor that gentleman was. (Army of Darkness?)
I can't say I've never been compared to a celebrity before, but I have to admit that along with Jim Carrey, and Matt Dillon the comparisons are rather nice.
