That Was Unexpected

Hey! I'm not dead yet. The week proved to be busier than the Super Bowl. We had a slow Sunday morning. The afternoon was normal, except we had no after-church business spurt, and then at 2:15...BAM! The rush was on and didn't stop.

Some obvious advice here: My company, which spent some bucks on Super Bowl ads, missed an excellent chance at some free publicity all because the upper management and corporate guys were AWOL. We had a reporter for a local news station just show up at our door around 10AM wanting some video and comment on this being our busiest day of the year -- how we prepared and how we handled it. Of course, corporate policy is that no one comments to the media, but refers them to corporate. Which was closed on Sunday. The reporter expected someone to be at the phones, being Super Bowl Sunday and all, but many calls on my part got hold of no-one. She left, disappointed, and we missed out on some free high-dollar exposure on the station carrying the Super Bowl. Idiots.

Anyway, I'll be back to what passes for regular blogging on Monday. See ya!
