Whether you are a 600 strong army hiring out a huge venue or a small gathering in a restaurant, there is a shared objective.

T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring...

Hell no they were all running wild.  Every man, woman and child.

The dogs and the kids have created such a clatter that i dashed out of the kitchen to see what was the matter.

I wrote this poem last night for my blog and wanted to share with all my friends on RecruitingBlogs, I hope you enjoy!



T’was the month of Christmas and all across the land,

clients and competitors were seeking the upper hand.



When all of the sudden to ACME Inc’s delight,

their big push for 2009 came into the light.

In a former life I worked for Xerox. A friend sent me a note telling me about something the company was doing in a effort to let our troops know that no matter how you feel about it personally, we very much appreciate the fact that they are out there for the rest of us.



The site is called: www.LetsSayThanks.com. It allows you to send a card to a serviceperson. You just fill it out (takes less than a minute) and Xerox will print the card and have it delivered. The cards were designed… Continue
