The Staff Republic

Wow. What a year. I’ve never been busier, and this despite the economic downturn. It started slowly, built momentum and snowballed into one crazy-ass avalanche of events. The Christmas period is busy, busy, busy for the world of event marketing, anyway. I mean, what bigger event than Christmas, right? So with parties, reunions, get-togethers, rubbish football results, shopping, wrapping, card-sending, Christmas dinners (two dinners for me. That’s right. Two.) New Years plans there hardly seemed time for work. Yet somehow we squeeze it in. High five!

For those of you with whom I was lucky enough to work this year I give you thanks for some good times and great memories. For the many of you that I did not, I count myself unlucky but – and it is a big but (must be all those mince pies) - the big wheel is about to turn once more. It’s New Years Eve and the advent of more possibility, more hope, more expectation, more opportunity. So here’s to more, to all of you. A la Noel Edmonds, may the universe bring you all you desire, be it work, love or laughter.

After the season of excess, I was pondering my resolutions and saw this, which, for me, has to be the single greatest name for any product ever. For all the wrong reasons. Still, I think I’ll be needing some come January.
