Sometimes I forget that I work for a place that answers to "corporate". That's all the person on the other end of the line, when I answer the phone, has to say - that they are from corporate - immediately, anyone will take their call.
"Corporate" makes me think of long meeting tables with identical coffee cups at each seat, 9AM meetings, and large drawing pads propped up on easels. Marketing and planning. Trying to decide what will make the most money.
A little bit of that goes on in the Fayetteville office. Our corporate office is in Atlanta. I invision a 10 story glass building with rooms of cubicles on every level. I don't know if I ever really want to swhat it looks like. My fantasy might be ruined.
But what I find refreshing, that in the midst of sales, making money, copy machines and production orders - there is humor and kindred spirits.
Our traffic manager took the above photos. They hang on her office wall - when I asked her about them, she modestly looked down and said "I dabble." So there are real people in a place that answers to a "higher power".
To me, that's special.
