On Getting it Done

It's been a busy week which is good in many ways.  We had some radio spots to air that fell through the cracks with the Procurement Department (a.k.a. Them).  This meant that the Communications team (a.k.a Us) had to run around trying to negotiate contracts with 23 radio stations, Procurement was up until midnight drawing up contracts, and Logistics had to figure out how to get the contracts to the little dinky stations in the middle nowhere.  In the end we Got It Done.  So on Monday we'll all pat ourselves on the back and give generous compliments to other departments, all in time for our big meeting with The Donor to whom we promised the radio spots would be up by September 1.  I think the players in the Middle East peace process have a lot to learn from us.
