FLY ON THE WALL

... you see "followers" will check their twitter account regularly. But "stalkers" will check it all-the-time. Constantly. You have a different commitment level with stalkers, much more available, than followers. See you, Melanie, have STALKERS. John has followers. There is a difference...

Josh Greene, VP of Marketing at one of our corporate clients, 1-800-PACK-RAT, was getting trained on how to use Trello to assign Sisarina new tasks and manage the process. We set up a new card, called it "Josh's first real card" and he added his first note: I want a pony. Melanie's response: I don't think that will fit in your budget. 

While we were still in training, Stacy (one of Sisarina's fabulous designers), moved his card from "New Project" into "In Design" so Josh thought it would be fun to finish adding specific notes to the card. His notes:

I would like a pony with a picture of me jumping over things, while riding the pony.
With a pack-rat shirt.
Low priority.

The next day, Stacy dropped this picture into the folder:

My new mantra is:

Sisarina's 3rd birthday is May 1.

Each year, Melanie & Teresa go on a trip to celebrate. For a 2nd celebration, they went to NYC for 36 hours. Next month they're going to Vegas for four days. Tickets & hotel are booked (they got a great deal!) and they're excited to spend their first experience of Las Vegas together. 

Teresa giggles every few hours.

Melanie is trying to figure out how to get everything done ahead of time so she doesn't work the whole time (even though working by the pool ain't bad).

Their motto:

"I can do ANYTHING as long as I know VEGAS is at the end of it!"

I love Mondays but for the last few weeks Mondays seem to hate me. When I have a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, I read Alexander & the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. It gives good perspective.
