join a team

when saying this goal is complete, whether or not you are removed from the team.

43t reports that we are a team of 28, while only 17 are still working on this goal. I prefer to think the larger number applies. In our case “join a team” is an individual goal (which of course we’ve all achieved by now), but the team defines itself.

The part I don’t know is if those who have shown the goal as completed, still get the posts of those listed as working toward the goal. Has anyone worked that out yet?

we’re all more popular by a factor of 2! (Did I get the math right Sebastian?) Hi new people! Did all of my old friends make it over? I assume we all will. Nice of the rest of you ember, Deirdre, Gwendydd, Zoe, and lucky to pick us all up. Don’t know what happended to our #$&%!* boat. Must have sunk from beneath us, though there is something in the exchange between Sebastian and ember that is suggestive of some other bit if mischief. ;-)

Thanks for the intros Sebastian and Paolo. It is always revealing to hear how others introduce oneself. You guys are both generous in taking on the task and in your words. I’ll look forward to getting to know the rest of you better.

it was anything I did, I guess it helps with my geek creds.

Now what—start a pro-democracy movement in the U.S.? Maybe the U.K.? These days I think you folks are ahead on that count. (Actually, most days.)

We could set our sites (bad gun analogy) lower and help Sebastian find the Holy Grail (perhaps more achievable rather than lower), or work together with Zhaneta to finish her dissertation (what’s it on, by the way?). Paolo wants to get Chairman Maeow to stop scratching, become an MP, and it seems to define the feminine aesthetic (I’ll leave for Paolo to say to what end).

These are only suggestions from goals and posts I’ve observed. Feel free to join in.

using an extra email address. I got the email, but when I followed the link, the site “saw” my 43 things cookies, recognized me, and said I was already a member of the team. This suggests that we do have a team, but just no membership certificates or decoder rings (and no team box on our personal pages).

I still don’t know the benefit of doing a team versus the general free-for-all of 43 things. Maybe it’s just the mutual support of each toward the goal. This particular goal is to join a team but I may have to work toward another goal in the context of a team to see the benefit. Now, given the technical difficulties for getting a team going, maybe forming the team is effort enough to discover the usefulness of such structure. Like Sebastian, I’m strongly motivated by the added decoration to my personal page of a team box.
