Well, what i thought might happen, happened. i went to bowling green to the rocky mountain elk foundation 3-d archery shoot/dinner. i shot the range twice and shot a 150 the first time and a 168 the second time. neither of those scores are too bad for my first time. next time i will be more prepared and think i will do much better. of course i stayed too long and did not get to run today. i am going to try to get the 11 miler done in the morning. i also shot at a "novelty" target they had set up which was a buffalo at 88 yards. out of 12 shots i would have killed the buffalo 5 times, took his manhood once, just wounded him once and totally missed him 5 times (or something like that). my sights are only set to 60 yards, so i had to make some adjustments to shoot him. after i got the first arrow close i put the next 3 out of 4 in the kill zone.
in 3.5 weeks i will be on my way to montana!
Quote O' thu day: "help people reach their full potential." this is one thing i have tried to do after i read the quote in the book The One Minute Manager. i realized that just because someone worked for me, just to get them to do their best job for me was not the ultimate goal. but the ultimate goal would help them to do their best for me. the ultimate goal is to help each employee to reach the fullest potential that they want to reach, and also push them to want to do more than they think they can. The full potential for a technician may be a better technician, a certified technician, or even to go to vet school. whatever they think it is, i want to help them reach it. unless, their goal is to not grow, not get any better, etc. then, if i can't motivate them a little, then i really don't think they belong working for me. but i want to help every employee i can to be reach their maximum potential. sometimes that may mean that they move on because they have outgrown our practice. those are the employees you hate to lose, but it is worth it to see people better themselves.
