Landmark Education Forum

A coworker told me about the best Leadership courses she'd ever taken and since it worked so well for her I immediately signed myself up. Did not read the website, did not check reviews, went straight to the registration page.

I showed up to the Landmark Education Forum in Austin 2 hours late after dealing with an unexpected fever from Anna, who came with me to stay at my mom's while I attended this 3 day, 13 hrs per day, course.

I walked in and realized I was in the wrong room. But it turns out I wasn't. Here's a summary for my $495:

Day 1: I am a jerk and a liar. Also the cause of problems in life can be summed up with circles.

Day 2: I am dead inside. Resigned and cynical. No don't deny it. It's true. I should call my parents and tell them how sorry I am for being a jerk my whole life or else I will never truly have what I want in life.

Day 3: The punch line. I would tell you what this is but I'd have to charge you $495.

Oh look a break through! Perhaps I AM really cynical! Well, money well spent. :)

On top if this all, my mom and sister would totally benefit from the class. It's about perspective, people!

Now on to Denver tomorrow where I am giving 3 talks on ISS science. One will be at Colorado State University on my birthday! Paul happens to be in Denver for the same weekend and will finally get to see one of my presentations. Though Anna won't be with us, this will be a neat birthday!

36 here I come :)
