			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a little exciting/nervewracking to be seeing the effects of what I&#8217;ve been doing at work. Ok so I&#8217;ve been pushing this new line of products because&#8230; customers keep e-mailing me about them, its pretty simple. Seems like there might be a market for it I guess. Then again&#8230; MY MAJOR WAS PSYCHOBIOLOGY&#8230; I&#8217;ve taken like two marketing classes in my life, why the hell are you listening to me?</p>
<p>So here I am, in China, in a design review meeting for the second connector we are tooling upon my recommendation, (this ones going to cost us 60k the last one was 40k) and I start thinking to myself&#8230; wow, we&#8217;re spending 100k dollars and a ton of our engineers time because of something <em>I</em> said?</p>
<p><object width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4997473&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="align" value="center" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4997473&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" /></object></p>
<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/4997473">CA China Design Review</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1832752">Andrew Lang</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
<p>Ok, lets get passed the fact that my pretending that I know what I&#8217;m doing has worked way to well for me, I&#8217;m actually pretty sure this is going to workout for us, mostly because I&#8217;m going to make it work. If it doesn&#8217;t they pretty much have nobody to blame except for me so&#8230; yeah.</p>
<p>Nobody has any idea that I&#8217;m freaking out about this inside my head, because, somewhere along the line, I realized that for some reason I get a much better reaction out of people when I pretend to be 100% confident in what I&#8217;m doing and also pretend that I know exactly what I&#8217;m talking about always, couldn&#8217;t be further from the truth.</p>
<p>My job is to do internet marketing for a heavily engineering based company. What did I study in school? Biology and psychology, nuff&#8217; said.</p>
<p>TTYL</p>
