Ragan lets me write this blog (God knows why), but in return I have to occasionally shill for Ragan products. It’s a nice arrangement, but we have an agreement that I won’t promote anything I wouldn’t use myself. So this week’s not-so-subtle advertisement is for Boodles Gin—a clean, crisp English gin that is best when it is served icy cold, straight up, with a twist of lemon.
Just kidding. This week, we’re plugging Ragan’s exciting, wonderful, terrific, life-changing seminar, "Strategic Employee Communication Vehicles," which still has four cities left on its five-city tour: San Francisco, Washington, D.C., New York and Atlanta. For actual dates and hotels, CLICK HERE. I can say without reservation that the instructor of this seminar is one of the smartest people in the history of the planet. I can say that because I am the instructor of the seminar, and my mother tells me how smart I am almost every single day.
So come on out! It’s two days of free booze, great food, lots of fun, and tons of learning.
I lied about the booze and food. But there will be coffee and bagels in the morning, and I usually try to sneak around the hotel to other meetings and steal some cookies for the afternoon.
But there WILL be lots of fun and tons of learning. That much I can guarantee. So check out the seminar program and come out and join the fun! Or call up my friend Diane "Bulldog" Tillman, at 800.493.4867, ext. 4250, and tell her Steve sent you. If she’s says "Steve who?" I’m in a lot more trouble than I thought.
Feels like Total Recall. Er, Philip K Dick?
Actually, with Steve's example it's a bit scary --- standing at the urinal...

What a wonderful blog, loved it! Passed it on to several people here.
I'm with a university in Central Minnesota that has 15,500 students, some of whom will go on to be very, very successful (in other words, no dummies). However, sometimes our student workers leave us stunned. Two examples, both in ONE day!
1.) The office administrator sent a student to the copy room to make 25 copies of a document . The student came back and said, "Is there an easier way to make that many copies? I had to push that start button 25 times."
2.) A student was asked to file some documents and came out to say, "I find it just amazing that there are 7 men on campus all with the same name of "Dean."
Oh, well, I guess the reason they came here is to learn -- here's hoping they will.
