Vegas, Baby!
Jenelle here…
I’m sitting right now on a plane to Las Vegas. Like last year, my two bosses and I will be giving a presentation at the Corporate Communicators Conference at Caesar’s Palace. This year, we’ll be talking about how we redesigned our corporate publications to make them more interesting, engaging and effective.
I’m sure this begs the question – what exactly do you do? Well, my journalism professors always told me to be concise, so in short -- I write stuff. I manage the company’s 4-page color tabloid-size publication and make sure it gets out to our employees and retirees every 2 weeks. That may seem like small beans, but our publication rocks, and it really is quite a big task. And it certainly keeps me very busy. I do other stuff too – but that’s my main job.
I just successfully whittled the e-mails in my inbox from 122 to about 2, so it’s time to take a break. I’m flying over the Grand Canyon right now. From the air, it looks just like a hole in the ground – like when the ground dries up and cracks.
I’ll be in Vegas until Friday, enjoying the sun, the conference, the food and the occasional slot machine. We get these great rooms in the Palace Tower at Caesars – its the kind of hotel room where the bathroom is bigger than the bedroom – Jacuzzi, phone near the toilet, separate glass shower, etc. I’m looking forward to this trip – I’ve been really busy lately, and while I still have a lot of work to do on this trip, I’d much rather do it lounging by the pool than sitting in my moldy office.
I formally retract my previous statement about the Grand Canyon being a hole in the ground. We just banked left pretty hard – which gave us a phenomenal view of the canyon.
And yes, I did bring my sunscreen. Although I am hoping the sun will remedy this awful v-neck tan I currently have going on. Who knew it could be sunny in Wisconsin?
Whoa, another big time desert bank, and some funny engine noises. That must mean it’s time to land. It’s Jackpot time!
