While I was in the midst of researching/writing an article about social media for our latest RecogNation , I paused and realized that I was getting into some pretty deep water. I sent out an S.O.S. and our HR Manager, Cindy, kindly threw me a lifeline. We chatted for a bit and, to my relief, she pointed me in the direction of some resources to help me reach a conclusion. Thanks, Cindy!

If you're anything like me, you don't need an excuse to have your morning coffee. However, take your time to enjoy your steaming cup of coffee a little bit more on September 29th, National Coffee Day!   

Boss' day is already less than a month away! Where does the time go? Boss' Day is celebrated annually on October 16th. This year we decided to create some more excitement around this holiday. I am proud to announce, we now have a line of products specifically for Boss' Day! I know what you're thinking – that's really boss-some right?

There are approximately 17 days left until Customer Service  Week 2014 – click here for the official timer!

Because I'm a bit of a nerd, I get really excited when I read an article or post that I think is particularly thought-provoking, or an idea that is especially innovative. I'll send it out to everyone I know and wait patiently for the wave of wows to come washing back to me. But, alas, most people just don't have the level of enthusiasm that I do for these things. Thank goodness Baudville has given me a forum for sharing with an audience (you!) who might really appreciate this information: it's my new Five Favorite Fascinating Finds Series! If you missed August's, you can find it here. But, now, let's get on to September and see what's been percolating over the past month.
