Habits Die Hard

Merrainiacs:

I have learned that regularly updating a blog is like all of those other things that fall by the wayside....at least in my life. They include exercise, long walks with my dog, flowers on the weekend, regular maintenance on my computer, checking in each week with Aunt Tillie bless her heart and now.....updating the blog. Not sure how this got looped in there, but it was my idea after all! Alas, live and learn.

Truth is, we have been busier than ever. May was our best month in the company's history breaking our previous record by more than 30%.....so it wasn't just a "modest uptick." It was more like an explosion. We've also just closed our best first half in the firm's history, and we think we're on our way to our best year ever although I'll confess we do have our share of worrywarts. You know the nervous type always looking for those storm clouds. Interim placement is up, permanent placement is up, HR outsourcing is up, contingency search is up, retained search is up and our newest division Merraine Select is off to an auspicious start. (Note to self: I must tell you more about Merraine Select.) So, all in all it's looking like some of those habits I was trying to get better at may have to wait because it's been an incredibly busy summer with no sign of letting up.

Whatever you do, just don't tell Aunt Tillie. Her memory is so bad I just keep telling her I called yesterday and she lets me off the hook.
