Some jokes

Came across some jokes.. thought they were funny :D

A penguin walks into a bar and asks the bartender, "Has my father been in here?" The bartender says, "I don't know. What does he look like?"

A bear walks into a bar and says, "I'd like a beer and . . . . a packet of peanuts. The barman says, why the big pause?"

A kangaroo walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says, "That'll be $10. You know, we don't get many kangaroos coming in here." The kangaroo says, "At $10 a beer, it's not hard to understand."

A termite walks into a bar and asks, "Is the bar tender here?"

A grasshopper hops into a bar. The bartender says, "You're quite a celebrity around here. We've even got a drink named after you." The grasshopper says, "You've got a drink named Steve?"

A guy walks into a bar and sits down next to a lady and a dog. The man asks, "Does your dog bite?" The lady answers, "Never!" The man reaches out to pet the dog, and the dog bites his hand. The man says, "I thought you said your dog doesn't bite!" The woman replies, "He doesn't. That's not my dog."

Consulting 101

In furthering my knowledge on what a "consultant" is, I've come across many articles and people who have given me many useful advice. I've been always thinking or asking myself "how is a consultant different from non-consultant?", "how can I be a better consultant?" , or "what is my role as a consultant to a client and how can I bring value to the clients?" These kinds of questions started popping up in my head because I actually enjoy working as consultant. It was not my intention to work for a "consulting" company in the first place. It was sort of accidental. But however it started, I am very happy with where I am at (although I could use more promotions :) and the company I am working for. Anyways, I jotted down some notes from some random site I've come across through searching for the phrase "consultant mindset".

Consultants:
- require right combination of confidence and humility
- need to be creative, ready to tackle areas you're not strong in, and result-focused
- get exposed to different corporate culture and pick up new skills
- are more willing to share knowledge with each other than corporate employees
- advocate improvement / seek out people who know things we don't know
- are where you can find best people and techniques for self-management, project management, and/or other management areas
- one of few places where someone not in a VP or CIO position will get challenged to come up with true leadership skills, regardless of level
