Nice ring: Innovation Officer

I think I'd like to be a Chief Innovation Officer. Seems like it would involve all the fun and none (or at least less) of the soul-crushing process. That's really the job isn't it - rebuilding the process so it crushes fewer souls?
Maybe after school, I'll have the breadth of experience (and hopefully some enhanced management capacity) to pull this off. CAO is pretty much off the table now - gotta reconstitute that backup plan!

I hate lawn bowling?

So it's off to lawn bowling again tonight. I don't think I've actually been truly enthusiastic about the prospect once this season, but always fairly satisfied in the moment. Today, as the rest of the team is galavanting around the country, I'm skip. There are plenty if better things to do and the sky looks like we're in for chapter 2 of the epic #tofloods but what the hell, we make the most of it until I have a more legitimate reason to bail - like school in September...
Still trying to identify exactly why I have a latent animosity toward the experience. Sold on false pretenses? Just too damn far to travel? Not that keen on the perks of drinking on the lawn or beering after? Hanging with a different generation? Lack of actual physical activity? Lack of expertise? Maybe, but doing something out of a sense of responsibility rather than interest is never a good place to start with extra-curriculars.
