Go MeadowLand!

This past week I got my new Mead­ow­Land busi­ness cards, which sport our new logo! I even a got a new title: “Senior Graph­ics and Pack­ag­ing Designer”. Woo-​hoo!

More about MeadowLand

I’ve been workng for them for over 7 years, and just fin­ished up with a flurry of items for their annual trip to “Lawn & Garden World”, part of the National Hard­ware Show. It hap­pens this week in Las Vegas, and is a major annual event for Mead­ow­Land. Many con­tacts and deals are made there between whole­salers and retail­ers. Last year I got to go to the show in Orlando, and it was quite an amaz­ing thing to expe­ri­ence. I’m pretty sure it’s the largest con­ven­tion in the US, with over 3500 exhibitors. Here is a sample photo of only a small part of the con­ven­tion hall with it’s gazil­lion ven­dors and their wares:

Here’s the gang at our booth last year.

Yard Work

Having a side job has it’s pros and cons. The main thing is that job number two has to be worked in the evenings and/or week­ends. This can present a dilemma, because those are also the times a person is sup­posed to “unwind” from job number one! That is what hap­pened today. I had a bunch of work to do… for job number two… and dead­lines approach­ing… and a Gor­geous Spring day that was beg­ging me to come out­side. What to do?

I went outside.

Today I found a new mean­ing for the term “yard work”!
