The Journey Home
I was up most of last night reading about people with names like Vercingetorix, Vortigern & Catigern. Then, since I've managed to accumulate some important tasks at the Courthouse I had to go into work. Finally I escaped from there, but had to AMPAC Governor-General Sameer for an hour on the phone about the conference we are ( Read more... )

Yah dude, thanks for coming. Enjoyed having some of the court at the pad.

Paul Harms may no longer be the IAC Chair, but since he is planning on being Controller eventually, which is now an ex-officio member of the IAC, with a lot of other stuff, he's still around. He may look off the radar, but he isn't.

Who's Mike Rivera (New IAC Chair)?

it is pretty much an entire year until they choose a new controller, if Harms doesn't get himself another important political position before then he's dead in the water. Yes he'd be back with a vengeance if he was next controller, but this pretty much torpedoes his odds of getting that, both by depriving him of a crucial stepping stone, and also as a demonstration that important elements of student government have completely lost faith in him.

What I know of Mike Rivera is that he was prominently rolling his eyes while I was talking in IAC, and is fond of snapping his fingers to show approval of what other IACers are saying.

Incidently, from an organizational communications standpoint, I think in contentious situations snapping fingers to show support for one speaker or another intimadates people who might disagree from speaking out by generating the appearance of a approved party line ... leading to unhealthy groupthink dynamics.

Well, all the applications are closed by now, and from what I've heard, some interviews are going on, which means unless he applied somewhere else as "backup" (unlikely) or, of course, he might bypass that whole application thing (it does depend on that tricky thing called faith, yeah).

Such is the trouble with being overambitious.

Hmmm. I'm going to wait and see.

Paul Harms will be working for SGAO next year. I saw him get out of the interview; Mike Tucker said it was an easy decision, as Paul's a hard worker.

I'll let you all come to your own conclusions about his political future, but he sure is fast in coming up with a backup plan.
