Hi Everyone! My name is Holly, aka Holl-Pass, Holly Pocket, Holls, or Dave. Yea, I have a lot of nicknames going around the office. I’m the new kid in town at T&S, which Scott loves. Although he only preceded me by a week, he thoroughly enjoys being able to pass off the newbie title so quickly.
Although Scott is often making me the punchline of his many jokes, and enjoys bombarding the designer’s side of the office with paperclips, we DO get along some of the time. Just a few days ago, we had the pleasure of getting our pictures taken for our business cards. We just happened to be taking them at a playground.
Inside this playground was a magical toy that, I believe, would provide hours of exhilarating, semi-dangerous fun. I don’t know if it has a name, but it certainly deserves to go down in history as the most awesome piece of playground equipment ever. It’s basically a plastic circle that is mounted on a frame, and the circle inside spins. So, you climb inside, and someone else spins you upside down. I’d never seen anything like this. It seemed far too dangerous to be in a playground.
I was hesitant, at first, to try out the toy, especially with Scott controlling my fate. Although I almost died once, this experience changed my life. Now I have a video to share with you, so that EVERYONE can have a glimpse of true happiness. Sort of.
Performing centrifugal stress testing on our latest addition [phase one - complete]
For this nerd-tastic blog entry, I thought I’d give a day in the life of Tim Priebe. As with most small business owners, I wear several hats. So in many respects, there is no typical day. I might spend a day doing business building, programming, sales, customer care, community service, Orangite morale building, spending time with the family, or (more likely) a combination of several of those.
For fun, we’ll look at April 20th, 2011. That was the day Josh, my oldest son, turned seven. And, lest I get in trouble, my sister’s birthday as well.
5:30 Woke up, showered and got dressed. Not necessarily in that order.
6:00 Checked email in the home office. Drank some coffee, started to slowly wake up.
6:20 Worked on my Webifiable column for The Business Times of Edmond. Lisa Shearer, my editor, is a slave-driver! Okay, not really.
6:50 Helped Josh finish getting ready for school. Fortunately, he’s old enough to get mostly ready on his own. I let him pick out his own clothes, but Leann doesn’t always like that.
7:10 Headed over to Whataburger for Josh’s birthday breakfast with dad. Eating out for breakfast is our annual tradition. The Whataburger staff let us take a picture with the number seven, since it was Josh’s seventh birthday.
8:10 Dropped Josh off at school. We listened to my iPod playlist titled “Kids and Dad.” It has music by Erick Alexander, the Beatles and others.
8:20 Arrived at the Edmond Chamber’s Morning Mingle at Tinker Federal Credit Union. Myron Pope did a great job presenting the sponsors. Got to chat with Barbe Renz and meet several new people. And Leann (my wife) got to go as well, so that’s always a plus.
9:25 Headed over to Starbucks to meet with Adam Potter, SEO link-builder extraordinaire. He described his process to me, which sounds like the least shady link-building technique I’ve ever heard of. Adam then became my favorite SEO link-builder.
10:30 Went over to Vintage Coffee and read a book on writing. I’m fairly sure it was How to Write & Sell Information for Fun and Profit, by Robert Bly. (Warning: That’s an affiliate link!) I highly recommend the book to anyone wanting to get into how-to writing. I liked the book enough that I’ve already lent it out to someone else.
11:00 Met with Mike Crandall with Sandler Training. Mike is a great guy, and really knows his stuff. We discussed sales, the growth his business was experiencing, and Leadership Edmond.
12:20 Head to the office and prepare for an employee review. Fortunately, we finally have our hiring process down well enough that these are usually a pleasure.
1:30 Sit down with two different employees for their reviews. Mostly praise, with just some minor course corrections.
2:30 Check email for the first time since 6am. Wow, I get a lot of email…
3:20 Work on writing an ebook. I spent another eight hours on it later to finish it up. The ebook, Easy Website Check-up, is available now for free at Webifiable.com by signing up for our email list.
6:30 Trouble-shooting my malfunctioning computer. Turned out it was two things: The router at the office and my hard drive. We replaced both later that week.
8:30 Heading home for dinner and relaxation. I can’t remember for sure what I ate or watched on television, but it was probably blackened fish to eat, and Smallville and Stargate Universe on television.
10:00 Off to bed. In seven hours or so, it will be time to start all over again!
