Staff meetings.

Need I say more?

Actually, the ones I go to aren’t bad.  That is to say, the ones I go to for my boss’ staff aren’t bad.

(You’d have to ask my directs what they think of the ones I run.)

;-)

We digress. My favorite part of my boss’ staff meetings are when my colleague who manages Comms for Consumer Programs updates on the work her team is doing. It’s always so super cool. Well, for weeks now she’s been updating on the program Yahoo! launched in partnership with the Sundance Film Festival on Shorts. There are lots of legs to this. All of it is really fun.

This morning, a neighbor sent me an email.

(usually I’m not a fan of the FW: emails. But this one I loved, loved, l-o-v-e-d!)

It turns out a member of the team that produced FISHING WITHOUT NETS, which won the Sundance  Jury Prize in Short Filmmaking grew up right here in my neighrohood in Hometown, U.S.A,

Local boy makes good!

Congratulations to the entire team!

What’s really, really neat for me is how here’s an example of how my two worlds collided.

That’s one of the best things about working for Yahoo!.

It’s really, really neat when that happens.
