Amy's Weekly Writeup

This week's shout out was nominated by Alice. She wanted to acknowledge the support she received this week when she came in one morning feeling all frazzled. She rushed out to Meet & Greet where Robin, Carrie, and Amber told her to "go take care of what you need to do....we've got this!" Alice really appreciated the supportive way she felt taken care of by her colleagues.

Tuesday: Make Up Your Mind Day is a very decisive day. All during the year, you've put on hold, many issues and decisions. Eventually, they need to be resolved and decided upon. Well, today is the day.

Wednesday: New Years Trivia: Did you know that a raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top.

Thursday: "Run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes" is an expression. It means to float an idea to see what people think, or if they notice. The term is commonly used in advertising and print media.

Run it Up the Flagpole to See if Anyone Salutes Day is set aside to allow people to do just that. Be creative today. Use this day to try and test new ideas and concepts. Don't limit the ideas to business applications. In your personal life, try out a new dress or clothing style, perhaps a different haircut. Or, maybe buy a new house flag and run it up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes...or even notices.

Friday: Festival of Sleep Day is today. It is an opportunity to sleep in, snooze, doze, nap, and catch 40 winks.

Friday Fun for Jan. 3rd will be a sign of appreciation.

• Virigina will be here on 1/8 for an Aspen refresher for those who want one. Please bring your laptop.
• Budget update: I will be continuing to work on this over break.
• Kindergarten update: Amy's last day with us will be Jan. 10th. I am in the process of finalizing the long-term sub who will be able to spend a week overlapping with Amy. I will announce who that person is, just as soon as I'm able to.
