Yeah, Nina!

She did it! Today we are celebrating Nina's 1 year anniversary with Immix. Most of you know what a great impact she has made on the company, but just in case you don't know - she's awesome! Nina, thanks for your hardwork and loyalty - I'm grateful everyday. (Even though you were late today) Here's to the future...

Ahh, Europe!

Well, I made it back...it was quite an adventure. For those fellow Amazing Race (TV Show) fans, this "vacation" was suitable for broadcast. I need to tally the numbers of voyages by airplane, bus, train, horse drawn buggies, and car while sleeping in hotels, hostels, and on a couch in front of an airport McDonalds. I was bouncing between Spain and Ireland and truly saw some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. I've travelled a fair amount, though mainly throughout the US and Western Europe, but never have was there so much beauty as in one spot, the mountains, cliffs, beach and pastures at the Cliffs Slieve on the northwest corner of Ireland (see photo). Too many stories too tell here, back to work!

Liz is coming back tomorrow!!

Oh boy... you don't really appreciate what you have until it takes off for a week and a half to tour around Europe!! I just want to say a big 'Thanks' to everyone for bearing with me this past week while Liz was gone. It was crazy but we made it through! Liz will be back tomorrow!

On another note: We had a high school senior from Walsh Jesuit High School for the past three weeks completing her Senior Experience. With all of our tight deadlines and projects, we didn't even scare her away from pursuing a career in design! She said that she's more excited than ever to jump into her major at Edinboro University and this experience just reassured her that she was going into the right field!! She's going to do really great, she caught on really quickly and was excited to learn. I wish her the best of luck in the future!

Random Monday Notes...

I hope everyone was nice to their moms yesterday! My mom enjoyed a "Mother's Weekend" - highlights including: dinner on Friday, brunch on Sunday, a chick flick and flower shopping. Nothing much to say, as it's quite gloomy out, but I guess it will prepare me for the damp weather of Ireland next week. I can't believe I will be in Barcelona, this time next week, then on to Ireland! Be nice to Nina as she will take charge of the office...

I love my shuffle...

Eventhough Pat has made me switch to a Dell laptop, I will always be an Apple fan. Having one of the first iPods, and loving it, I have been amazed the past couple of years by their dramatically reduced size. While my black and white screen is still kicking, and holding so much music, I have been hesitant to leave it behind. Recently I found a compromise...keep the old and give it a baby brother. I bought the iPod shuffle - let me just say, it's awesome! The bulkiness of my ancient iPod is no more, as they "clip and go." I thought I would miss having the power of changing playlists, etc. but I have found the opposite to be true - it's exciting not to know what is coming next, makes the last 2 miles of a hike or weeding in the garden a little bit easier. Not intended as a plug for the product, just sharing my latest fascination. The price ($49) was so reasonable that even my mom bought one. Her friend is loading the music as I figured she wouldn't enjoy the entire Clash catalog.
Oh yeah, wondering what color I went with?! Nothing beats a classic:

Interior office photos

Hi.

Here are some photos of the new office. We are looking for some nice wall graphics like on www.whatisblik.com but just haven't found the perfect ones yet. Everything else is coming along nicely though.  

There will be more little tidbits from the office to come as well as plenty of actual useful information!

We Moved!

As many of you may know, we have made the move over to the Canal Square building which is the beautiful YMCA building. We have now realized that there are many other buildings in Akron that start or end with the word Canal SO for a visual, here is a photo of the building.

We are really enjoying our new space. I saw a baseball game from my desk last week, which I was totally excited about! We can also see right down into Lock 3 which is pretty entertaining. I'll post some photos of the new office on Monday!
