Photos of the Fortnight 2.1

Looks like I'm a week late. I guess it is photos of the fortnight (and a half) this time.

A few days ago, I took the back road home. It takes about the same time, but it is really quite a spectacular route through the Castle wilderness area. So here it is, more great scenery from SW Alberta.




This second picture is taken from just outside the plant gates looking south. The last mountain on the left (the one that is kind of square looking) is Chief Mountain which sits in the United States (Montana).

Showtime

About a year and a half ago, I was in a leadership course where the instructor was talking about positivity. He said that whenever you are about to go into an interview/ presentation/ tough meeting/ etc, stop and visualize something that will literally make you laugh out loud. This does a few things. It helps to get rid of any tension, but it also helps prepare your body to portray confidence. I have used this method and it has worked for me.

As soon as he talked about this, I immediately thought about the funniest visual gag that I have seen. It comes from an episode of Extras, a British comedy produced by the BBC. Watch the video to the end as the gag comes right near the end. Brit wit is the best.
