Philander39 3705 Report post Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) I'm not sure about the rest of you but lately every time I have seen an SP I end up leaving the meeting with more knowledge than I went in with. In the past couple of years, I was given overviews of the following subjects: - Spanish plays from the 1300's - by-laws and their relationship to women's rights - french literature, specifically the mid to later 1800's - website design - bowling - generational differences in the office - english literature, specifically American writers of the 1930's to 1940's - star wars vs star trek - poetry - gardening techniques for increase yield of vegetables And these are the ones that I can remember off the top of my head. I must admit, I really wasn't expecting an added bonus of taking up this hobby would be my increase knowledge of various different subject matter. I'm actually being sought out for people's trivia teams now. Although, I have to talk about "this guy I knew from university" when people ask me where did I learn something. I would like to thank all the lovely SP's that I have met over the past few years, not only have you given me lovely memories, it also seems like you taught this old dog some new tricks.

I've learned about some of the following things: music recording Kantian philosophy accounting/tax info organic gardening euphoniums! And that is why I love this job! I love learning/hearing about new things, especially things it wouldn't occur to me to seek out otherwise. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
