Detours, Detours. No Problem…sort of.

August 16, 2010 by Rowell

If there’s one good thing about being at this business for so many years, it’s the store of experience one can draw on in an emergency…which turns into another emergency…which deteriorates into another emergency! If you can just avoid panic, chances are you can think of one more work-around. That was impressed upon me following […]

What a Great Feeling when your CUSTOMER says “Thank You!”

August 6, 2010 by Rowell

We’re supposed to be the grateful ones, right? In the best of situations, we’re paid to do what we love and have fun doing. And if we’re smart, we always thank our clients and everyone (engineers, agents, etc) who made it possible for us to have that magic moment. But the best of times are […]

I always associate the term “Cut me some slack” with hipster dudes from the 80s, even though I knew I’d heard it earlier than that. (Favorite subtitled scene from “Airplane!” anyone?)
