We had a breakout session (yeah that's what they call them) of just the techies from various divisions.  We went around the room and introduced ourselves, with most spouting out resumes.  That broke the ice and omgoose it smelled like Geek in there.  I was the only female out of 26 of us.  That kinda sucked, but no one was sexist thankfully.

I'm on another mandatory business trip that is in actuality a company pep rally.

I'm learning new euphemisms like crazy.  Yes, that's how I amuse myself at these things.  I did honestly enjoy hearing my CEO speak, though.  He has such great vision.  Anyway, on to the fun stuff:

1. Bake it into your DNA
2. We're going to have a Darwinian bakeoff (my personal fave)
3. Further up the trough
4. It's a different view of the camel
5. Best of breed
6. Game over for us/them (used interchangeably)
7. Agnostic (technical) platform

I know I forgot quite a few.  We were bunched in tightly, so I didn't want the guy next to me to see that all of my notes were goofs.  :p
