]]> Comment on Optical Illusion Paintings on Trucks - fake or real? by Sim http://thesim.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/optical-illusion-paintings-on-trucks-fake-or-real/#comment-424 Sim Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:07:31 +0000 http://thesim.wordpress.com/?p=213#comment-424 That's amazing that people can print out images on a wide bed printer and glue them on to trucks and cars. There is this truck in town that drives around with two billboard (one on each side) that changes the huge banner every minute. Gas prices here are $4.50 a gallon and I think he should run electric instead instead of gasoline. Most of the time he's just stuck in traffic. There is another aerial company around here that prints dot matrix smoke in the sky that reads, "DONATE BLOOD."

The manager there has one wrapped around a Toyota Highlander, and the photo that’s wrapped around is a young lady holding an umbrella, sort of the idea that ‘you’re cover under our roof’, then one day his wife when out to the garage, and the vehicle was parked in there and the picture almost gave her a heart attack because she thought it was a real person standing there smiling, holding an umbrella. I’m sure the illusionist artwork, what could be produced in the computer can be wrapped around the truck or vehicle, I think its kind of neat, moving art.

What I discovered is that some people like to play hard to get, which I can’t be bothered to go and beg anyone because this is based on a volunteer basis and a goodness of his/her heart. When they realized that you’re not going to beg them, not being needed, then they feel guilty, this person actually called me on my cell at 10 PM that night to see if I needed her help the next day (it should have been a 2 days project, but we managed to get it done in 1 day.) I was still sitting at the parking lot of the worksite, but it took us all day and late into the night with one person less, but I was not upset. Since she made the initiative of calling me, I think I’ll ask her again on our next trip. The current team that we have is great, we've the same vibes.

But it looks like the helper doesn't want to be there. She/he doesn't like the work, doesn't like the people or the area. I would let her enjoy her freedom and let her go as she wishes. A good team leader tends to have a charisma, an abundant of chi of some sort. This, in turn, gives the energy back to the people that are here to help. They will like the company of a energetic team leader and will feel energize themselves. They will come back the next day, and the next just to be near us, and to be inspired by what we have to say because we never once believe they are slackers. You might try to find out what she likes and make jokes or tell punch line stories once in a while. Or do all kinds of stuff I can't fit in this comment. But if she's not in your same vibes, then you both can drain each other. This is when it's a good time to split up.

One thing that I realized that is expected of the team leader to say is, “Yes, we’ll have it done on time,” a very important statement even if you feel skeptical at the time, this will give the team confidence and get things done on time. I do have to admit that I don’t have much patience for slackers.
