This week marked the beginning of my third month, and I am getting into the rhythm of the work. On this particular weekend, a situation presented itself and with it an opportunity for total immersion in the issues and systems that I was hired to maintain, The Viking System.
Today was a monthly staff meeting, and I saw it as the perfect opportunity to wear my hat . .
I carried the hat in a box and put it on during my portion of a staff meeting. I donned my hat and the crowd of 12 staff members erupted in laughter. I introduced the event in typical SNL style, “and this is The Viking Report . . .” It was a hit.
I finished with, “and believe it or not, I did not have to make this hat for this meeting. This is just something I had around the house. You can ask my ‘why?’ later.”
