The CK Daily – It’s Draft Season!
Happy Friday, folks! As a sports fan, yesterday was an exciting day with the Day 1 of the NFL Draft. I was expecting a good number of quarterbacks to be drafted, but Round 1 of the draft blew my mind with a record-breaking 6 QBs drafted!
One of the highlights of the evening was the unexpected sight of Bill Belichick in the role of an analyst. As the long-time head coach of the Patriots, he’s known for his reserved media responses. But last night, he broke the mold and had a lot to say, which was a refreshing change!
So, did your team get the right players?
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend filled with great sports moments and relaxation.

Aww, I guess I AM loved
Remember in elementary/middle school when you liked a girl? Boys had their own way of showing their affection for the opposite gender. Punching, pushing and kicking them were all socially acceptable ways to show the girl you liked that you in fact liked her. [Read more…] about Aww, I guess I AM loved
April surprise from my tormentors, err co-workers
Note to self:
Do not take April Fool’s day off. Coworkers when armed with information like “man, I don’t see myself ever getting married”, or “man, I’m sure glad I don’t have to ask permission to go somewhere”, or the ever popular ”weddings are like funerals, only with better food” they tend to use it against you. One side of the coin it sucks having your wall spammed, but on the other side at least I know what they were up to. We work in an environment where nothing good comes from silence. If they did nothing, I would have likely taken Monday off too so that whatever they planted in or around my desk would have died or moved to another cube.

CablesAndKits makes the 2010 Inc5000 list
This past year was an exciting year for us here at CablesAndKits. It was particularly exciting for me as the CFO, because we were and are so focused on metrics. As part of the executive leadership team here, I have been challenging our teams and leaders to find ways to measure their team performance as well as the company’s performance as it relates to their particular roles. There have been many interesting discussions because of this focus, and our team members are learning things about themselves and about business that they never knew before.
