Doughnut Days 3 & 4

Doughnut Days, apparently, are like buses ... you wait and wait, and then two come along next to each other. Yes, having waited too long for Doughnut Day 2, the next couple of forays came and went in quick succession.

Either this means that Alphabet has descended into gluttony ... or that we've simply had more things to celebrate recently, what with the successful launch of this year's conferences, and some great traction with companies we haven't done business with before.

Our telemarketing team has been ringing their sales bell with a frequency which makes me glad I'm on the other side of the office from them - and not to be outdone, our conference team has racked up some truly great speakers for the next couple of events. Then finally, thanks to John Lui and to the hard work from Amelia and Jianggan, the magazines have not only become as regular as clockwork from a scheduling perspective - but they have also helped Chris, Kelly and J2 fill their sales pipelines on our way to record numbers for the magazines.

The way things are looking for 2008 ... we need to find a healthy alternative to doughnuts pretty damn quickly.
