Jolly Holiday

I'm so old school that when I hear of a new "holiday" each day I just go back to Mary Poppins and recall that it's a jolly holiday with Mary!

Today's new to me holiday was National Intern Day.

So of course I was compelled to make a card and buy some little treats for the 2 rock star interns on our marketing corporate communications team. They've been with us since May and I will miss them so much when they go. It's like mentoring people who still have 2 years of college to decide what they might want to do – and giving them real-work situations to help them decide. 

Back in the last century when I was in college, most internships weren't paid and I could not give up a summer of income to do one. So I really admire how forward-thinking our 2 writers are. It's a level of maturity I don't think I had heading into my junior year at college. 

But as I said to the golf "opponents" tonight, if you have a college aged kid interested in anything my company offers – from marketing to finance – let me know. We have a generous – very generous – program at Sentry that I'd recommend.

It could be a jolly holiday for someone next year!
