What Are You Most Thankful for this Year?

November 25, 2013

Here are the top responses:

Family and friends whom we love – and who love us in return.
Health.
Working with a great team of talented, creative and generally awesome people at Haley – who make every day an adventure!
The holidays.
Opportunities to work with great clients / make a difference in our clients’ businesses.

…and a few other notable ones (in no particular order!):

Economic uncertainty. It’s really good for the staffing industry. (David)
Donuts. (Todd)
Every hardship, every person who ever said “no” to me, every time someone challenged me, every difficulty I have endured – because those things made me who I am today, and without them I would not have taken this path. (Vicki)
Downton Abbey. (Rob)
Chicken wings. (Matt)
Aleve. After discovering MMA conditioning class on Sat, I am most grateful for this!(Kelly)
Great bosses. David and Vicki challenge us every day – pushing us to do better, find alternate solutions and exceed our clients’ (and HMG’s) expectations. (Jenny and Mandy)
Yoga pants. (Cathy)
Fermentation. It gives us wine, beer and spirits! (Rick)
Being able to get anywhere in Buffalo within 20 minutes. (Brad)
Martial arts. (Vicki and Mandy)
Donuts. (again, Todd)
Getting to play ice hockey, even if I’m the old man on the team. (David)
Living in Buffalo…where the weather makes working a better alternative than being outside! (Jari)
Music – specifically bluegrass music (hey, no one can diss Man of Constant Sorrow and George Clooney) and the gift of being able to play and teach it. (Jenny)
Technology at our fingertips that previous generations could only dream of. We carry more computing power in our pockets than was used to launch the first space craft! (Cathy)
Lemon cake. (Heather)
A fantastic work-life balance. (Rick)
A sense of humor – and others who understand mine. (Greg)
Telecommuting. It allows me to have a great career with Haley, without the 180-mile drive! (Mandy)
Wine. (Jenny and Maggie)
Forgiveness for occasionally missing a deadline. (Brad)
Dark Magic coffee. (Greg)
Tim Hortons coffee. (Brad)
Coffee, coffee, coffee. (Cathy and Kelly)
Mini donuts. (guess who?)

What are you most thankful for this year? We’d love to know. And from all of us at Haley Marketing Group, have a great holiday!
