my company’s global communications department contact me on thursday and asked if i would like to be interviewed by the magazine meetings & conventions regarding planning environmentally-friendly meetings – i forwarded the request to my boss, hoping she would want that honor; instead, she thought it was perfect for me and i said yes. i have no idea what crack i was smokin’ when i said yes – i’ve never been interviewed for a national publication before (granted, it’s an industry rag, but it’s national just the same).
i haven’t discussed work to much here, but as the ‘show & production’ manager for my company (fancy name for event planner) i’m part of a small team (just 3 of us when fully staffed – which we’re not right now) that plans our company’s runway hair shows, larger meetings and trade shows. a big part of our company is an environmental mission. now, most company’s have a mission, but those mission statements are usually only talked about on your first day, or is on a plaque in the lobby (from my previous experience) – where i work, the mission literally drives every single decision made in the company. every employee is expected to know the mission and our annual reviews and bonusable objectives are driven against the mission. as such, you can’t throw a bottle of shampoo around the company without hitting 5-6 tree huggers at at time.

AWESOME! lemme know when the interview is published. And then mail it to me in a box containing shampoo.
Oh,and I totally would’ve said “can’t swing a dead spotted owl around without hitting a tree hugger”
Much more environmentally aware,i think
