InteliStaf President's Club - Naples, Florida


I was able to go to Naples this week for work - it was an award that about 12 people in the company were awarded - FUN!


This was the view from my room!!








Corona commercial!


I arrived on Sunday evening - left on Thursday morning.










I got to ride a catamaran...




Swim in the Gulf of Mexico...


Collect shells...



Watch live bands at night...









The last evening was a cocktail party and dinner with the whole group - I even got an award!!

Fremont Pub Crawl for a Cure




Who wants to drink beer for a cure to Cystic Fibrosis?


I do! I do!


Harmony and a bunch of her work friends from Northwest Cable News came out to Fremont for the day last weekend and we went on a pub crawl! This is Reporter Man Ed. I met a real reporter!!


Harmony and her drink ticket

Best pic ever of Harmony in front of the Fremont bridge going up - how fun!

By the end... we all felt like this -


Yeaaahhhh!!

And.... Iowa



Welcome to West Des Moines, Iowa.
An office of permanent cubicles and 3 time zones.
I got in after 8 hours of flying Monday morning... to an office full of folks that we NOT excited to see me.
Please note in all of these pictures, there are no employees.
The first place I see as I was getting off the freeway? SO INAPPROPRIATE!!

Oh - the beautiful flatness of Iowa. It was great that there are absolutely NO natural markers of land to figure out what way you're looking.
I asked someone how they knew what way they were going without a compass and one lady said, "We look at where the sun is in the sky."
Ahh... if I had only known.


Then I went downstairs... to drop off a FedEx. What did I find?
The scariest warning signal known to man...

Saturday bowling at 7am...




I picked Marissa up at 730am....

all to go bowling with Josh, Angela, & Rosie... little did I know (or I didn't check my email) it started at 9am...


At least we got a few games in to warm up!

( My biggest game was 106)



Gotta love it!~

Then our friends showed up!



Harmony!
Alex and Tina!



Mike!

And the guest of honor... Rosie Mae!
We will miss you!!

No touchies (the song)....

No Touchies.... No Touchies.... (mariachie version)

Marissa and I traveled to Bremerton for the day a weekend ago and found a ship to travel on! (mpre pics to follow)
