The Weekly Surge
January 5th, 2016
Happy New Year Everyone!
The year 2016 is finally upon us. It's the first full work week of the year and we're all back to the daily grind. Well... most of us anyway. Hopefully you all had a wonderful holiday break. Did you do anything special or take a cool trip anywhere during your time off? Let us know! Better yet, send us pictures! We'd love to hear about your trip.
Also, due to the debacle with the Hubbell mail server last week, a lot of you did not receive The Weekly Surge in it's usual timely fashion. Or for most of you, not at all. Hopefully we have remedied that situation now. If by chance you know of a co-worker who received a quarantine email about this newsletter, then by all means show them how to white list it so they can receive The Weekly Surge again. Thanks!
Thanks again and here's to Happy, Healthy & Successful 2016!
