The world's most un-Canadian Post

Ya, I admit it, I'm not a big hockey fan. There, I said it. Hah! Want to know what I'm a fan of? Email me yes@thebeacongroup.ca or give me heck for my views on hockey.. no@thebeacongroup.ca

Worse yet, I can't even believe I'm posting about it.

Anyway, playoffs are here. True to form, everyone and their grandmother is all of a sudden a huge hockey fan. Way to go bandwagon. The strange thing is, half the people who care about hockey at this point in the season, didn't care at all for the whole regular season (like me...). So, if you're a die-hard hockey fan, this must just take the cake.. bandwagon..

So, wouldn't you know it, I actually have a point. Too often, I come across people who tend to rally behind the big projects. The projects that are above and beyond, and tend to come around once a year...kinda like the playoffs.... see I had a point....

As a die-hard, dedicated employee, doesn't that just tick you off..? You get in the trenches day after day, and these glory hounds just waltz in at the last minute, and try to take ownership, or worse yet, they wait for that big assignment, not realizing that day after day there are things that need to be done...perhaps not the most recognized, but nonethelheless, this still need to be done.

It makes most people mad. Who? Your top performers, your starting lineup, your team captains. The exact people you want to step up when you need them.

Therefore, my advice to you: play hard, day in and day out. Double shift your stars, keep your stick on the ice, and most importantly, play the whistle.

There, I'm Canadian again...wahoo. Phewf..
