Damnit

So I was at the gas station pumping my car full of gas goodness when I came across a group of highway patrol officers. I looked up and noticed that one of the highway patrol officers used to be an old basketball teammate of mine from high school.

I went up to Mike and told him "oh shit, I think I went to high school with that girl!" An officer over heard me and asked me who I was talking about. I told him and he called her name and told her that I said hi over his speaker. She looked over and I waved at her.

She looked at me like I was some homeless woman off the streets claiming to be her long lost sister or something...no recogniton on her part.

Perhaps Tim was right... maybe I should have made more of an effort in high school. Five friends may cut it for me now, but it won't get me out of a speeding ticket!

Humilty

You know how there are those people out there that are just put there to make you feel bad about yourself? I've found my person...and he works in the cubicle next to mine.

Humility has not yet been embraced by our generation... but I'm learning.

Kudos to Steven Cody

Steven Cody, Managing Partner of Peppercom wrote an op-ed piece in this week's issue of PRWeek entitled, "An eye-opening day as a Junion AE."

In a day when us "bright-eyed optimistic youth" are "clammering for praise and recognization," its nice to know there's a senior level exec. out there whose taken the time to walk in our shoes. Even if just for the day.

My hat goes off to you Steven Cody -- we need more like you in this business (and if we can get our clients in on it, it'd be even sweeter!).
