7 facts about Scot Herrick of Cube Rules

(http://www NULL.flickr NULL.com/photos/60237034 null@null N00/1087661064)

I was tagged in one of those blogging memes by buddy Phil Gerbyshak (http://makeitgreat NULL.typepad NULL.com/makeitgreat/about NULL.html) of Slacker Manager (http://www NULL.slackermanager NULL.com/) and Make it Great (http://makeitgreat NULL.typepad NULL.com/). I rarely do these little ditties as they tend to be off-topic for my readers. But, since this is supposed to be 7 facts about myself that you might not know, I thought it would be good additional information about the owner of Cube Rules — and an opportunity to check out some other great sites.

Rules:

• Link to the original tagger(s), and list these rules on my blog.
• Share 7 facts about myself in the post – some random, some weird.
• Tag 7 people at the end of my post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.

7 Facts About Me

1. I love being a manager of people. You wouldn’t think so since the point of view of this blog is helping people thrive in a cubicle. But working with great management teams is great for managers and especially for Cubicle Warriors.
2. I’ve worked in business for over 25-years and technology for six more.
3. I’ve now lived in Seattle-land for over five years. Time flies.
4. I grew up next door to my grandparent’s dairy farm. I’ve sheared sheep, fed and milked cows, shoveled cow pies and bailed hay.
5. I am an Amateur Radio operator with the call sign K9JY. Need to post to that site a bit more at K9JY.com (http://k9jy NULL.com/).
6. In high school, I went to nationals in forensics (Oratory) and took 13^th place. Debated on the debate team, too.
7. My wife, Kate, won the “You Get It (http://www NULL.jibberjobber NULL.com/blog/2008/01/31/january-08-you-get-it-winner-kate-herrick/)” award for her website (http://kateherrick NULL.com/). Not exactly a fact about me, but there is that fact that I’m proud of her.

Now the fun part: tagging seven other bloggers to share information about them as well.
