Perhaps I should try out for Survivor…

I discovered a new talent today. I’m just full of surprises that way. I attended a team-building workshop at work, and one of the exercises we had to do involved pretending you were on a plane that crashed in the Amazon. You had to prioritize a list of items that were on the plane, and then build a consensus with the rest of your team about where each object should rank on the list. Everyone had a different idea about what was important, but I managed the best score in the entire class. So apparently I’m a handy person to have around in the event of a plane crash in the Amazon. Of course, I was something of a failure at the actual exercise as I had the highest individual score, but didn’t try hard enough to convince my group of my ideas, so we failed to achieve “synergy” which I believe was the whole point. Oh well. At least I have the best chance of making it out of the jungle alive.
