Dear members and constituents, As you are all most likely aware, Jeff Gaillard is off to be a big shot in the London office. When I found out the news, I knew what it meant immediately: we had to put him at the top of the first rotation so we could extract a couple dozen donuts out of him one more time! As expected from a short-timer, Jeff has delegated TimeWise to bring the donuts in at this ungodly hour (the European Union is the cradle of the 35 hour work-week and I think England is trying to import that tradition from France). LaMar's it is and they're here, so come enjoy!
Donuts are part of the magic that makes life so sweet. I founded the Level 3 Friday Donut Club in 2004 and ran it until my departure in 2015. It had a three year run at Windstream and is now virtual, but at its peak, we had a rotation of 50+ folks who brought donuts every Friday. We had three simple rules: (1) five dozen (2) boutique shop donuts (3) by 8:00 am. This blog memorializes these e-mails to share my thoughts (and, once upon a time, announce the donut arrival). Have a happy Friday!
