Day Two
Yesterday was "Day One" - that's day-one of the new company Thomson Reuters. Lots of festivities here. New business cards, new employee badges (same old picture - 1998 I believe), new voice-mail messages to record, new email addresses.
Actually it's lots of fun. Should be a good deal for company, employees, and customers. Unlike the deal that the company down the road just got into. Not sure how that will turn out.
For the record - I dressed up and it's Friday. Just wanted everyone to note. Heard that big-wigs might be walking through - like to make a good impression.
Here's somethign to ponder: Can you be a major executive if you are sensitive to the smell of new paint and new carpet? Every time a major exec is going to tour the facility, they spend a week or so painting the more visible public spaces and laying new carpet in entryways, main halls, and elevators. Everything smells very new! These poor people - everywhere they go, it smells brand-new!
