learn something new everyday - march 2010

3.22.10:  Foie Gras is absolutely delicious.
3.19.10:  People like structure.  I was told when I was offered a job that I have substance, but not form.
3.13.10:  No matter how sure I am about someone, I think I need to know someone and live with them for at least one year before getting engaged.  I've seen too many head-over-heals marriages that leave someone in the marriage feeling a bit underwhelmed.
3.12.10:  I try not to listen to what other people say about other people, but sometimes they're right.
3.11.10:  Concept development might be the toughest part of Marketing.
3.10.10:  As you increase trial, you have to invest in your base business as well to continue to grow household penetration.
3.9.10:  When you lose a lot of fluids, you should drink Pedialyte. The best flavor to buy is Orange.  Grape is okay, but Cherry (the flavor I bought) is terrible.
3.8.10:  P&G launches 3,000 initiatives per year.
3.7.10:  European companies are shipping to online shoppers in the U.S. at lower prices.  They're willing to take lower margins on products than U.S. companies, even absorbing the costs of shipping overseas.
3.6.10:  People don't build relationships with their real estate agents like they used to.
3.5.10:  I think the only reason I did so well today was because I didn't want to let Mister Griffith down after all of his help preparing.
3.4.10:  I want to be a "Destination Manager" when I grow up.
3.3.10:  Days like this aren't worth it unless you love your job the other 364 days out of the year.  Thankfully I do.
3.2.10:  Superbowl commercials drive awareness for brands that have strong equity, but they do little to communicate benefits.  Still trying to understand what value they actually have.  I think our P&G Olympic "Thanks Mom" campaign is doing a ton more for us than a Superbowl commercial ever would.
3.1.10:  I don't think I should do my taxes before March.
