3. December 2008
How’s your customer service? Is it magic? When people come to your office are they impressed, disappointed or somewhere in between?

I love this picture. It just says so much. I got this one from Dreamstime. They are by far my favorite stock photo site, mainly because they have great pictures at unbelievable rates. We use them when we need pictures for our brochure and a lot of our other marketing materials.

12. November 2008
This past weekend was a busy one. It all started on Friday. A couple of months ago I met with a coworker of mine to plan an event. The event was a summer camp “round table”.
