Sent too soon... All that said, I've organized poker tournaments at work, bowling outings, social breaks with snacks, pot luck lunches, seasonal off-site blowout parties, and even a 300-person internal conference complete with international travel and off-site dining and activities, door prizes, and live web uplinks for those who couldn't make it in person. It can be fun (even if exhausting) to be involved in event planning, no matter how important the event may be. -- Bill Swallow Twitter: @techcommdood Blog: http://techcommdood.com LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/techcommdood Available for contract and full time opportunities. ------------------------------------------------ STC Ideas: http://stcideas.ning.com Join: http://stcideas.ning.com/?xgi=6X1vNGI ______________________________________________ ComponentOne Doc-To-Help 2009 is your all-in-one authoring and publishing solution.
