The 2011 season is officialy underway. The Little Rock Marathon has been checked off the list and we are now off to Atlanta for the Publix Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon this coming weekend. We then get a little reprieve for a month until we really get rolling in May. Returning from Little Rock thought, reminded me of a big reason why I enjoy what we do, the people we work with.
The people we get to work with on a daily basis and at the events make some of the crazy things we do enjoyable. As I've written about before, we do a lot of things most people don't consider normal. We see the early morning hours at the beginning of the day instead of the end, like most people normally would. These activities surrounding the events can only be done with people you enjoy being around. Smiling and sometimes not so smily faces not only make it bearable, but make it fun. Great stories, inside jokes and great laughs usually come of these times.
Little Rock made me think about how we don't only enjoy being around our crew, but how much we enjoy our clients. The crew from Little Rock is not only great to work with, but they make the job feel not so much like work. They know when to get down to business, but like to have fun doing it. We are all in it together, so we all might as well enjoy it.
We don't view our "crew" as hired help or volunteers, but as friends. How else could we get them to do what they do? We don't view our clients only as clients, but as friends as well. The good people we work with on a daily basis and at our events make the job, not seem like a job. The events are fun, but the people we work with make it memorable.
