O Canada!

Sunday's hockey game was a total disappointment..im pretty sure a lot of Canadian hearts were broken that night....sigh....o well...what can you do...Miller was on fire and quite frankly...we werent so hot....so now its a long 4 straight wins to get to the gold....it'll be pretty amazing if we can pull through that....Germany tonight...last I saw...6-1 :)

we picked up 2 more golds ..yay!
Even though our overall medal count is half of the highest (United STates), in terms of gold medals, we're actually only down by 1...interesting...

Attended a workshop today addressing the issue of working with people of different generations...it was interesting to see how all our upbringings and different major social events can greatly affect our perspectives and behaviour at work....for every generation, they have common traits and beliefs ...it was interesting to see how these affect how we interact with one another at work...and of course, i was the only one from Gen Y (10-29 yrs old)...and everyone had something negative to say about my generation....I had to sit there and defend my generation...but i think their opinions mostly stem from misconceptions and how my generation is portrayed by the media...Apparently Gen Y people are the "bubble wrapped generation"...meaning that we were spoon fed by our parents and grew up in a protected environment created by our parents...of course, none of this applies to everyone and many other factors come into play, but I think they are generalizing to most middle class famiilies....

it was an informative workshop, i think everyone should have the opportunity to experience it to assess our own biases and misconceptions about our co workers from different generations...
im sure everyone's experienced something negative due to misunderstandings from generation gaps....If i had a nickel every time a patient asked me if I was 12...
