I know it’s not much, but I
feel like somewhat of a jetsetter these last few days. Sunday and
Monday Lisa Ewing and I were at the Tennessee Convention and right now
I am in Pittsburg visiting the lab (I’m actually one of those Columbia
people). Every year all of the Customer Service Reps change positions
for a few days to see how the other half lives. These trips keep us up
to date with any changes in service or procedures that have been made,
it’s also nice to see your co-workers face to face every once in a
while. (Tonya, Tracy, Ted U, and I exchange thoughts in Columbia last week.)
The Tennessee Convention really felt like a
success. We really enjoy both visiting with long-time customers and
meeting some of the newer ones. It was also nice to be out of the lab
and away from my desk, but towards the end of the trade show I‘d say my
feet and back were starting to miss my desk. If you haven’t already
been to a trade show this year (and even if you have) you should
consider stopping by at some of the upcoming shows. It’s one thing to
read about our new press books or assembled albums, but it’s definitely
beneficial to see them in person. There are still a few more shows left
for the year. I personally will be at the MOPPA Show Me Workshop and Oklahoma Convention, perhaps we will see you there.
