Today I had lunch with two former co-workers. It was a good lunch, although it was a bit of a venting session for them. They are in tough but not impossible situations, with problems that range from staffing to managerial politics. I let them vent, and then we had some interesting conversations about outsourcing, on-shoring, talent management and retention, and staff morale.
Earlier this week-end I gained some hardware experience. I installed a second hard drive in a PC, and not only did I learn about drive configuration I also learned about Linux capabilities for partition management and file system mount points. Perhaps not something that belongs on my resume, but it is nice to know that I can still learn!
