Spring into Spring with Flowers<\/h3>\n

Spring has sprung. The trees are beginning to leaf out (at least in Texas) and spring flowers are blooming.<\/p>\n

Whenever you have a celebration, fresh flowers help make it special.<\/p>\n

Bring a bouquet of spring flowers to work to celebrate the beginning of spring.<\/p>\n

Ask employees to bring in flowers from their gardens. Place them where everyone can see them.<\/p>\n

Notice the -Wow- effect when people see real flowers and how they help create a cheerful atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Answer to This Week’s Trivia Question<\/h4>\n

Q. Who wrote the music, Rhapsody in Blue?<\/p>\n

A. George Gershwin<\/p>\n

Joke of the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I took my car to the garage, the service manager got out the repair forms to be completed and asked for my name. I gave him my first name, which he wrote down.<\/p>\n

I noticed there was only a small space for the surname and, because of the length of my hyphenated last name, I cautioned the young man, “You’d better get prepared; it’s long.”<\/p>\n

Before I could say another word, he had written “Long” in the surname space.<\/p>\n
