Danny – Thanks for your comments! I *love* this quote: “If you do a good job while having fun, it will be greatly appreciated and always remembered.”

Jenn (aka, my big sis) – Your story is why I have this blog. Seriously. It makes me happy when something I say, write (think?) can have a positive effect on others. In this case, the “others” were my 3 nieces and 1 nephew. They can thank me when they get older. Ha ha.

D-
Tristan, Zoe, Sage and Layla have benefitted indirectly from this post. Here is how… I slept in a bit this morning in attempt to enjoy the last few lazy mornings of summer vacation. I knew when I emerged from my bedroom that I would be faced with the aftermath of a 7, 6, 5 and 3 year old helping themselves to breakfast without supervision. The cheerios scattered on and about the breakfast bar were to be expected. The orange juice spilled across the counter, floor and chairs was not good. The OREO COOKIES open and half gone was bad! That is only scratching the surface of what I found. Under normal circumstances this would have pushed me over the edge,(if you remember correctly from our childhood – I am NOT a morning person), and the kids would have ended up very unhappy. Today, as I was about to lose it, I thought about what you had written and I was able to approach the disaster zone from a different angle and with a different perspective. I didn’t say anything to them about it. I quietly cleaned it up and smiled to myself as I reallized how much fun they had had while I was sleeping.
Thanks D!

And you even have the perfect soundtrack to the day… nice job, guys – wish more companies had your mindsets.

And yes. If you can do a good job, it will be appreciated. If you do a good job while having fun, it will be greatly appreciated and always remembered.

Thanks all for your comments. You are the reason I keep blogging!

Keri: Glad that S&P will be forever tied to SiBTO
Kristen: Happy to help revive – from one person who likes to have fun to another. So…did you do it? Pants someone? Ha ha.
Sid: Wow. Thanks for your kind words. Personally (selfishly), that makes B-school all worth it to me, knowing I had a positive impact on at least one person!

Great post DJ!

I’m telling you folks, as a founding member of SiBTO I gotta say – SiBTO was a fun team because DJ wouldn’t have it any other way. He insisted every meeting the people he was working with must take time to laugh.

That idea and this experience made a permanent impression on me. In fact, I don’t think it’s too dramatic to say – having fun was one of the most coveted lessons I’m taking away from b-school (if you know me from before b-school, you know how big a deal that is), and that’s in no small thanks to you bro!

So, Thank You. Tack. Dankie. ???? ??. Merci. and ?????? (right from the j-club dictionary)!

I couldn’t mean it more.

Sid.

Dude – you’ve nailed it.

This is soooo true. Some of us NEED this reminder – and if so, we should write it out and stick it on our computer screens and on our fridges, etc.

This has been a mission of mine in the past, but you’ve helped to revive it today.

I think I’m going to go pants someone in the office for the hell of it…

SiBTO made the blog – yay! Great weekend and I will forever think of you five guys and our memorable two years together when I bust a move to Salt ‘n Pepa — which you know happens ALL the time. Thanks, D to the J. Have fun…
