So the site is at least functioning to the point I can add some content, so let’s get moving.

Outside of work, my time is currently being consumed by two things; The McCombs Alumni Network – Dallas Chapter and, as usual, training for the next triathlon.

Our leadership team for the Dallas chapter has really made some strides in the past month to get momentum going for 2010.  I have to give props to all McCombs Alumni leadership for really stepping up the efforts to make our Alumni Network one of the best in the nation.

Here’s a few things we have coming up:

Winter Networking Reception and 2010 Economic Outlook

The Dallas Texas Exes Business Network and McCombs Alumni Network are pleased to present John V. Duca, Vice President and Senior Policy Advisor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and Dr. Thomas W. Gilligan, Dean of McCombs School of Business in a special speaker event Thursday, February 11, 2010 at the AT&T Performing Arts Center Nancy Hamon Education and Recital Hall located within the Winspear Opera House.

I find a lot of things interesting, which is probably why I know a lot of random (useless) facts.  One of the things that may seem irrelevant to some, but very relevant to others, is the differences between my generation – Gen Y – and the other generations currently in the workforce.  Here are a few articles that I return to when I am struggling to understand why Boomers act the way they do.

Companies Slow to Adjust to Gen Y

Generational Differences at Work

Mending the Generation Gap at Work

Mixing and Managing Four Generations

and my favorite, from TIME magazine;

What Gen Y Really Wants
