For Me This Is Heaven

I know I'm lucky to have a job. What's even luckier is the fact that I work for a fabulous company. I assumed the business was great before I started working there and being an "insider" reconfirms my suspicions.

This past weekend, the upper management team flew all 60 of the firm’s employees in its Publicity/Promotions division into LA for a two-day "Marketing Summit." Every presentation was uniquely amazing. CEOs and Editors from some of the nation's top websites participated in a variety of panels and my job’s owner, president and division heads led candid and open discussions where every employee felt comfortable enough to ask a question, make a suggestion, participate, etc at any time. It was remarkable.

As cheesy as it sounds, there is a song I hope you’ll take the time to listen to, which sums up the weekend more poetically. The lyrics are posted below.



The first star I see may not be a star
You can't do a thing but wait
So let's wait for one more...

And the time's such clumsy time
I'm deciding if it's time

I'm careful but not sure how it goes
You can lose yourself in your courage

When the time we have now ends
When the big hand goes round again...

Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?

And the mindless comfort grows
When I'm alone with my 'great' plans

And this is what you said gets her through it
‘If I don't let myself be happy now then when?’
If not now when
The time we have now ends
And when the big hand goes round again...

Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?

I close my eyes and believe
Wherever you are
Angel for when the time we have now ends
And when the big hand goes round again

Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
Now ends?
