Re: Those Magnificent Men and Their Copy Machines
Almost three years ago, I wrote the above blog. I want to do a 2015 version. Please either post here or go to the forums and write a short paragraph about how your company is giving back to the community so that we can post the 2015 version of "Those Magnificent Men (Women) and Their Copy Machines". It would be great to see how we all contribute. Please post below. I re-posted the older version on the blog tonight also. Here is the link for the forums.

THANK YOU - don't try to prove you're more manly than I am with your grip! Although, my Dad always told my brothers - "you treat her like a lady because you are a gentleman" Some women need to lighten up on the "I am woman hear me roar" Treat each according to their needs, experience, position and you will be fine.

I agree with you on some points that his goals are admirable in wanting to cut wasteful spending. That's about it. In the future if he is elected, and he cuts the nuclear arsenal, cuts defense spending, brings all of our troops back to the US from around the world (which numbers around 500,000), says that we no longer will protect our allies (which means that US bases around the world will have to be closed).

Re: Lancaster resident wins national Konica Minolta Demo Challenge
Quite the honor I'm sure but I wander the wisdom of this contest in today's marketplace. How many man (or women) hours were invested by reps nationwide practising for and competing in a contest for skills that are seldom used anymore? I can't remember the last time I did a competitive demo to win a sale. Is it just me? Do salesreps do competitive demos much anymore? 20 years ago it was critical but not so much anymore.

I am not studied enough in American politics to be able to defend my personal views against obvious pro republican sentiment. I do feel that the Bush era Republicans paved the way for the financial melt down of the US banking and mortgage system.

This was closely followed by the auto crisis forcing more huge amounts of debt to bail out the industry. Everyone knew at the time, the...
