Monday, March 23rd, 2009

This morning, eROI Sales & Strategist, Alex Williams took this fine photo in Los Angeles, of all places.

Haiku Monday: Optimism

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Last week was a real rollercoaster. Projects that should have signed off the week before, then Mon, then Tues, then Wed, finally signed off on Thurs and Friday – phew.  We’re on a roll now at eROI and this week is going to be all about optimism. We’re going to jam away on all the work we have in the door and create some new opportunities as well.  It’s only a 3 day week, but a good 3 days.

Optimism runs deep
Behold, we’re launching a
New site – it’s awesome

Let the haikus flourish like Jack Black in KungFu Panda.
