New 'Trends' in the Bathroom?

I received an invitation to tour a “consumer goods” factory and was curious enough to look the company up on LinkedIn. This is what I found:

>>>>> Since 1901, (company), based in (City, Country), has brought forward innovations that time and again have set new trends in the bathroom and created new standards in the international bathroom industry. <<<<<

I could not help but laugh! This is what happens when languages are not adapted to markets and translations are done by employees who know the words but lack the localization skills.

Too funny! But I do not believe for a moment that the company meant to be funny.

Civility in the Workplace

I can't wait for May 26! That's when Peggy Parks will give a luncheon presentation about Civility in the Workplace.

This is not something she just thought about one day while driving around town, having a conversation with her husband, or scheduling a meeting with a client; it has been a life-long passion of hers. And society is finally catching on!

Last year, she received the "Civility Star" award from the Association of Image Consultants International, and just the other day, she accepted the City of Atlanta's proclamation that announced May as "Civility Awareness Month".
