Just a day at ADB

This is a composite of yesterday and today (since today is only half over)....

STEVE COLE (president, chief of design): Conferred with staff on several items, including the results of the SFB new product selection survey, a local reporter wanting to do a story about us, publicizing the miniatures painting contest, an opportunity to promote our products through another company's fiendish scheme, and the need to send information to the small business develpment center. Reviews two intern applications for the graphics job. Worked on the CL35 story (mostly evaluating Klingon D7 deck plans and deciding where the commandoes are going to board the ship). Dealt with 2000 SPAM messages yesterday and 900 so far today. (Some server in Russia is using one of my email addresses as the phony return address for a million or so spam advertisements.) Opened up the civillian ships painting contest. Briefly looked over a retyped version of the Campaign Designer's Handbook that Aaron Staley did for us while he's stuck in Iraq. Complained that *I* was *NOT* in Iraq with the Army. (I am too old and too fat, and the colonel made me retire when I submitted the fourth request for transfer to Iraq.) Processed a couple of store registrationsand starlists requests and sent them to Vanessa. Note, My entry is longest because I know what I did. Other entries are shorter and reflect the core activities. This does not mean that I do more than they do.

STEVE PETRICK (head of SFB division): Working on tedious detailed example article for CL35.

LEANNA COLE (business manager): Processed $1,000 in mail orders and worked on year-end accounting.

VANESSA CLARK (marketing director): Dealt with wholesaler and retailer requests for information, art, and sales materials. Dealt with customer requests for help. Set up new "miniatures" area on the new forum. Dealt with store registrations and starlist requests. Conferred with SVC on marketing.

MIKE SPARKS (warehouse): Quality checked in a couple of thousand Tholian miniatures for the new product releases. Packed mail orders.
