Monday: I got another project dropped in my lap, which was what's been distracting me from updating here. Eventually, I'll be working on another blog, Facebook account and Twitter account for one of our big projects coming up.
Tuesday: We had a follow-up meeting with one of the local news stations. Half-day, woohooo!
Wednesday-Friday: I wound up working on some personal projects and trying to figure out the stuff that hit me on Monday.
I promise I'm not ignoring you! Last week just got busy and crazy in more ways than one. Let's get back into the swing of things this week, hopefully with some Bogus Health Tips and other random awesomeness.

Irony
Dictionary.com defines irony as "the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning." Why in the world would I bring this up here, of all places? Because I've been thinking about my position here at MedCenterNetwork.
As the Social Media Coordinator, I'm in charge of promoting our online presence and getting our name out there. But one of our goals as a company is to be the best media connection that you've never heard of. The campaign and our partners' names are the things we want to get out there. And, yet, here I am, blogging and updating the Facebook and Twitter pages. I understand that it's really to help get others interested in partnering with us and get the message out thataway, but it still struck me as amusing ironic and I thought I ought to share.
Still to come: More of Emerson's Bogus Health Tips, office coffee maker wars, and random pictures!

Go, Go, Go!
Today has been busy. A meeting with a third news station early this morning, a trip to Boulder with Rebecca and Bianca to gather intelligence (read: information on other companies that might be interested in partnering with us), lunch at the Boulder Teahouse (my fault, because I'm a tea addict), and now writing a blog about all of it. At least it's cooler in the office than it is outside; I swear I felt like I was going to melt while we were walking down the street. Note to self: get some shorts.
Anyway, this trip to Boulder was short and sweet: visit the visitor's center for as many pamphlets as we could carry, have lunch, work whilst eating, visit another company that might be interested in working with us, and come on home. And, if you don't believe me that we were working during lunch, take a look at the massive stack of pamphlets and magazines we were attempting to sift through.

I've also decided that I'm going to turn this into a food blog. Surprise! From now on, I'll be rambling about the best places to eat in the Denver/Boulder area. I mean, really, check out this awesome salad I had! Fabulous salmon, succulent orange slices, beautiful goat cheese and a delicious Dragon's Eye tea vinaigrette dressing.
Note: I'm not actually changing this into a food blog. It's just an amusing thought, especially since I will, at some point, be talking about healthy eating, I'm sure.
Still to come: Which new station decides to partner with us? How much chocolate does it take to get the Social Media Coordinator bouncing off the walls? And why does our office refrigerator freeze everything we put inside it?!
Ps. The office is now complete! We have a coffee maker and an electric kettle for tea. Huzzah!

Tougher Than it Looks
Do you know what's tougher than it looks? Getting people to sign on with us. We know exactly what we're doing, but since it's so out of the box, it's tough to explain to potential partners over the phone (or, heck, even in an hour-long in person meeting!) what that is. Colby, Rebecca and Keith have been working on a one-page summary of our current project for weeks now, and they still haven't quite pinned it down. Surprise, that project got dumped in my lap today! Let's hope that writing degree comes in handy.
But back to phone calls. Over the last two weeks or so, basically everyone in the office has been making phone calls left and right, conference calls, trying to entice people to partner with us. So far, it seems to be working pretty well; we've got a lot of companies that sound interested. We just have to amp up the bait a little, give them some more information or some examples of what we're doing. Lets just hope we can all remain sane in the meantime!
