My favorite Olympics moment ever

The Olympics have been a nice change of pace given what’s going on the the world and this country. Sports isn’t going to bring world peace, but it allows us to take a pause. There are so many fond memories I have watching the olympics. Friends have been discussing what the best moments are, not only in Paris 2024, but ever.

Though this isn’t in the Olympics itself and in the trials, the number always engrained in me is 19.32, when Michael Johnson broke the record for the 200m.

What is your favorite moment?

Avengers: Doomsday

Avengers: Doomsday with Robert Downey Jr. as…Victor Von Doom. This is likely a Tony Stark variant but to say I’m extremely disappointed is an understatement.

I love RDJ. I love the MCU. This feels extremely lazy.

Having to revert to RDJ and the Russo Brothers validates to me that they failed. I can’t wait for the Multiverse Saga to end.

My aunt and two uncles visiting today. I used to stay at their homes all the time as a kid and college student. Now I get to return the favor in hosting them. One thing I’ve learned being a child of refugees is safe shelter is such a gift.

Manager coverage and scope

People often ask what the different responsibilities are between levels of management: manager, director, and VP. First, there is no perfect way to draw this as organizations are all different. This sketch is an attempt to show different areas of coverage and daily interaction.

1. Team view: Primarily focused on the success and performance of direct reports.
2. Cross-functional: Working with other team leaders across the org
3. Upward: In addition to overseeing larger scope of org, works upward with senior leaders on strategy
4. Company level: Usually executives or department heads. Focuses at the company/board level
