Lotus Knows my admin assistant is awesome!

October 28 2009

We are loving so many of the wonderful cards and gifts that have come our way since Chloe joined our family seven days ago.  Creativity is a plus, but never in a million years did I see this one coming from my assistant Jodi and her family:

Lotus Knows Chloe

It's a set of baby "onesies" with Lotus Knows on the front....and in one case, on the back:

Chloe knows

Hopefully Chloe will grow enough to fit into these by Lotusphere, where she can model the latest "Lotus Knows" efforts in style!  Thanks, Jodi!

    Now that is one heck of a creative gift.

    No doubt. That's cool stuff right there.

    That is one creative woman!

    The skill isn't in the scheduling, it's in the delegation :-)

    @4 - I'm sure Ed will learn the true meaning of delegation when Deborah demonstrates such skills when it comes time to change the diapers. :)

    @Ed - On a semi-related note, how about getting some officially sanctioned Lotus Knows merchandise on Cafe Press? It's marketing and it's "on demand." What more could IBM want?

    I can see folk running around Loutsphere 2010 with a Lotus Knows "I'm the real fake Ed Brill"

    Classic gift and well thought out.

    Wow...extremely creative and thoughtful. Excellent gift.

    @7 I concur!

    The title of the blog entry is a bit misleading and I'm surprised this doesn't have 500+ clicks on PlanetLotus.

    Very cool gift! Apparently, Lotus Knows how to hire creative and thoughtful people.

    This is officially hilarious!

  1. 13  Loretta Golby  | 10/29/2009 8:32:49 AM

    That is awesome gift & idea!

    @7, @3, @5 - I think we all know who should be charge of the "stuff" in the LOTUS store at Lotusphere!!! Some real fun and interesting products!! LOTUS KNOWS!!!

    Ed, Mazol Tov on your daughter's arrival. The onesies are great. I hope she does model them for Lotusphere. Make sure she gets royalties. Did you paint her room yellow? Let's talk about IT Superstar video - maybe we can edit for Lotusphere.

    This is awesome! Of course any Loti or IBM'er in MA worth their salt already knows Jodi is awesome.

    Congrats to Ed, and yes, all that advice on those shirts is true.

    Re: merchandise: yes, it would be great to get some hip merchandise like this - reminds me of the (at the time) very fresh "I AM" campaign, and the Superman campaign (and the giant 5 story banner on 1RS for a while...)
