In two days, brilliance will converge upon Lansing.  (Feel free to insert your own commentary here about our state legislative process needing a bit more brilliance.)

The JetCo team holiday party occurs in January.  December is busy for everyone, so we choose to wait until the new year when time is more plentiful.  Because our team is spread out between Grand Rapids and Detroit, we meet in Lansing — in the middle.  (Feel free to insert yet another commentary about how our state legislators need to meet in the middle a bit more.)

We gather, we laugh, we have happy hour, we bond, we have dinner and drinks, we laugh more, and we eat and drink more.  Good fun.

This post is boastful.  Jon and I are overwhelmingly grateful for the people that make our company successful.  We have an ecclectic bunch, and their talents are immense and diverse.  Between our team members and their spouses, we have strong personality traits.  We’ve attracted a team of very loyal people, which we adore and admire.  This loyalty means they respect their spouses, our company and our clients.  We are terribly fortunate.

Renee and Jeff, Kim and Josh, Karen, Kevin and Mary, Penny and Nick… you are brilliant and fun, you are stylish and caring, you are organized and handy, you are patriotic and ethical, you are loyal and creative.  You’ve made us laugh, you’ve made us think, you’ve made us better people and you’ve made us pudding shots.

Thank you.  Can’t wait for Saturday.
