It was a slightly hazy, albeit sunny morning in the south of Los Angeles on that day. Meanwhile, the big story was all over the news; “Global manhunt for wanted criminal continues in Compton, Los Angeles”. Three policemen were shot dead, two airlifted to Mount Zonah (the biggest and safest hospital nearby), and one taken hostage – all by one fierce human being. There was no sign of him for at least a couple hours, but we weren’t going to cease the manhunt. It would definitely not be simple, instead this was going to be a fight to the death; no truces, no cease-fires, no pacts…just total eradication.

I was with two other ones of Los Angeles’ finest: Nick and James. We had already noted the briefing, and were on our way in a SWAT van provided by Special Forces. “All this preparation, money, and lives at risk because of one person.” I uttered to the person next to me.

Come to think of it, this criminal is strangely like him – risking and taking lives for his own wellbeing. As I was pondering this to myself, we grinded to a staggering halt, and the van doors flew open and gunfire erupted before I even had time to compose myself. We found him. The hazy sky turned grey in a flash, and the air of rain came about. Great, this will definitely make it easier to spot him, especially with these huge raindrops dancing around my face like its 1999.

    As I mentioned in the previous assignment, I want to increase my baseline 500 steps each week so that by the end of the semester I am recording 10,000 steps which is in the active range. I will continue walking around the property at work and stepping in place whenever I possibly can. I will stick to walking to the mailbox which is two blocks from home as opposed to driving up to it on my way home. If I have days where I am tired I will just give myself another pep talk. I have a pretty good support system thus far so I will lean on them if pushing myself on my own does not cut it.…

    The flight to Panama was long and bumping as I flew aboard a C-141, this aircraft is no longer in service. As I departed the aircraft, I was met by oppressive heat and humidity. As I looked around my new surroundings, I could not help but think that it looked as if someone had laid a giant green carpet over the landscape. It was definitely the most beautiful country that I had seen and, in my opinion it still is. The tarmac was busy with all kinds of activity going on.…

    Sam hit the stones hard, blood dripping from his mouth and nose. They had him hanging from the ceiling for five hours, whips against his back, needles into the bottom of his feet, and hot iron against his skin. For five hours they had done everything short of killing him to get him to reveal the information he possessed. The location of the Allied forces, the locations of bases, the names of military officials and spies. For five hours he had looked them in the eye and told them to go fuck themselves in every language he knew, which was 7.…

    After a grueling day of midterm exams, I trudge back to my dorm with a few of my friends to drop my school bag off before going to the Michigan Union to eat at Panda Express. Panda Express is one of my favorite restaurants ever, and I always get the same thing: one medium lemonade and one bigger plate with chow mein, fried rice, and a side of kung pao chicken. The noodles and fried rice already taste delicious, but the spiciness of the chicken combined with the two entrees simply explode in my mouth. Anyways, we made our way to my dorm in South Quad, all the while conversing about how each other’s exams went.…

    The Vigilance Project Case (Dominick, 2008) is about team conflict because, in reality, the entire project was founded on some sort of conflict. The merger wasn’t really a merger, but more of an acquisition, which instantly creates tensions between the employees of both companies as various roles are either increased or decreased, depending on which company you initially worked for. As subteams were formed and sponsors/leads assigned to each subteam, initially it sounds like a good idea. It flattens out the hierarchy and involves plenty of employees in the decision-making process. However, because of the location of teams, it may have created a larger problem, producing more conflict, as now communication is becoming a bigger-than-initially-thought…
