Don't Worry, Be Happy

As I begin this post I am in a deep sense of melancholy and I wish not to portray this dismal dejected state upon the rest of you as I announce the departure of a fine individual from our midst. Yes, we will all be truly brokenhearted at the departure of Bear Newman, but strive with all of your might to keep yourselves from wallowing into the depths of despondency because there is light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Bear has received a new business proposition and has decided to take the plunge and move toward greener pastures. Thank you for all of your hard work and we wish you well in your new venture!

As this news has undoubtedly hit most of you like a blow from the mighty hammer of Thor, I can only offer you this wise counsel. In the words of the beloved reggae master, Bobby McFerrin, don't worry, be happy. Today, our sales team will increase by one. Jared Davis has joined the ranks and is looking forward to being part of the CPS workforce. He comes to us with a diverse array of talents and a positive outlook. Like Mr. Bobby McFerrin, Jared also is very musically inclined being skilled in the guitar, mandolin, fiddle, cello, base, ukulele, and the jaw harp. He is quite literally the one man country band. If you ask nicely he may just serenade with Don't Worry Be Happy. 

Customer Service also has reason to rejoice and "Be Happy". Shanna Clark will be starting as a customer service agent on Wednesday, July 17th. Shanna has many years of experience in working as an office administrator and in expertly handling customer care situations. Her experience will be a great asset to our customer support team. Shanna is also multi-talented! She has a great passion for writing and I have on good authority that she is an accomplished dancer. Welcome to the team Shanna.

New hires are not the only cause of celebration. We also have an inter-department swap to bring joy and merriment to us all. Terri Sawyer will be leaving Sales Support to join the accounting team and Brent Carver is getting the boot from accounting to join the sales team as a Sales Support Rep. Both are excited to move across the office and take on new ventures. 

Unlike this guy...we have many causes to celebrate and be happy. We are excited to have both song and dance (Jared and Shanna) join the party here at CPS and we look forward to working with you both.
