So I'm re-writing my job description! For the 3rd time in the last 6 years! :) I've been appointed as the go-to guy for our website re-launch... which I'm hoping to go live Valentine's Day weekend! A little ambitious but I think it's doable. I was originally hired 6 years ago to coordinate the volunteers who run the sound boards and visuals during our worship services. Then I started filling my time during those 6 days of the week that we didn't do worship with other stuff... I unofficially now work for the communications department! haha... I've been working outside my stated job description since I started! Because my job didn't exist before I came along! It's been quite a ride. Web is so outside my job description. So I'm re-writing my job description! For the 3rd time in the last 6 years! :)

I think it's also somewhat arrogant, even though, again, i get the point.<br /><br />how can we best use our skills if we don't have context or perspective from the other people involved in the process? we don't operate in a vacuum.<br /><br />my 2cents. i get his point but honestly I don't agree with it completely.

how can we best use our skills if we don't have context or perspective from the other people involved in the process? we don't operate in a vacuum.
