It’s just in my nature to want to win. So much so, I sometimes pay a higher price than I should to assure that I maintain my place at the top. But hey, that’s just what you have to do. I mean, that’s what you’re supposed to do, right? It is in fact the reason we are “successful”, the reason athletes get paid the “big bucks”, and the very reason I am typing this email for the company I work for…….because I had the winning resume.

We Shipped in some Help
The man is constantly moving. He doesn’t stop all day unless he has to tie bowties on his Adidas Sambas (robust indoor soccer shoes). When he steps onto the soccer field the lights dim and he steals the limelight. His name is Albert and he is part of our Shipping team. The man can play soccer. Too bad he doesn’t play for our team.

Above and Beyond

He’s ALIVE!
Whether facilitating the shipment of orders or scoring a goal, Daniel Cupsa (AKA “Frankie”) will exhaust all available resources in an effort to succeed. His entire motivation to step on the playing field is to put the ball in the back of the net. Frankie (who gets his nickname from a previous co-worker who called him Little Frankenstein, then shortened to ‘Lil Frankie, then just Frankie) is a supreme contributor to our indoor soccer team.

No, we’re not eastbound and down. More like greasy side up. (lost?)
Jonathan is one of our Broker Sales guys. There are really only two things you need to know about Jonathan:
1. He doesn’t like soccer (indoor soccer included)
2. He has a motor like the little Energizer Bunny, “He Keeps Going and Going and Going.”
Jonathan, being a team player at CablesAndKits, merrily joined our soccer team. On the field, he is like a pinball. Wherever the ball goes you won’t find him far behind. [Read more…] about Breaker 1-9, breaker 1-9; what’s your 10-20?
Vampires and Soccer
The sun is tucked beneath the horizon and the vampires are out feeding. Everyone without fangs is dreaming of candy, tall glasses of Coke Cola, and “Snagless Ethernet cables”. Game 3 was scheduled at 11:00 p.m. This is two hours past my bed time! Am I supposed to be able to run around and try to catch up to a soccer ball at this time? I have trouble making it to the bathroom in the middle of night, let alone play soccer. [Read more…] about Vampires and Soccer
