Last Day

Eek! It's my last day for a while at esyringe. Things are really going to start changing. 

The company can run without me (not that I'd like to admit that), but my expertise is appreciated, I'm sure. So I'll try to do as much as possible while earning my MBA. 

There really isn't any escape from the job, though. Not when it's a family business and you care so much about it. 

Well, this is life at esyringe.

Knowledge

It's so difficult to gain knowledge outside of work. I constantly find myself wanting to know more about the different topics that interest me. But I also consistently find myself doing brainless and menial tasks, just doing the things that have to get done before anything extra is possible.

There doesn't seem to be enough room in my brain or enough time in the week to learn what I want. 

I'll be going back to school for my Masters of Business Administration soon. Which means that soon I will be dying to cram as much information in my brain as possible. And the family business will be one family member short for a while. I'll be working remotely on the things that I can, but it will be different, that's for sure.

Green Movement

And yes, I do mean that kind of green. Many companies, universities, and individuals are trying to be 'green' and sustainable. Well, so is esyringe. What this means is using florescent lighting, using paperless methods such as emailing invoices rather than mailing them, and biking around instead of driving. These are choices made by the individual that have a greater impact on those around us than we realize. 

esyringe isn't the epitome of sustainable operations, but we are in a constant state of change: moving toward green. I hope the ease of changing for sustainability encourages many.

Fun Times

Well, we are allowed to have fun at esyringe. I've got a nice sun burn from my lunch break and I spent some time surfing the web. I can't help but laugh at the lol catz:

Reminds me of when I put the office cat on a leash. She doesn't like that too much. 

Yesterday was a fun lunch break as well. The team played basketball for about an hour. Pretty embarrassing really. It's been almost a year since I last played. And everyone else was similarly afflicted. Although, by the end, I got a little better.

Meetings

Whew! They can really leave you with a lot of work to do. My to do list just got a mile longer. Speaking of... I should probably be doing some of that work.

May

Wow, it's May already! And the sales keep rolling in. This place has been exciting to work at.

The marketing team is really getting things going for the whole team. There's nothing like some good advertising to get some new customers interested. esyringe.com is looking pretty darn fabulous too (uhh-hum, maybe because I've been working on it so much -- just a thought, but I don't want to brag or anything)!

All in all, my time back in the states has been very productive. The esyringe family and team have been working hard; and there have been great results from all this work!

Vacation

It's been going very well! I have been in Korea for the past two weeks, enjoying myself. Almost time to head back to the grind, though. 


Hope all is well with you!
