Earth Day – Happy People Make For A Pleasant Working Environment.
Earth Day is just around the corner, one of our busier times of the year. This is a challenging time of year for our employees because we produce many rush jobs and employees don’t know what time they will be home at night. Ok, maybe we promise too many things sometimes. It is sooooooo hard to turn work down. Plus, our customers need us. Bloomin Promotions are perfect for earth day, especially with the flower growing season upon us.
Today I came in to work to find this little message on one of our picnic tables.
I was inspired! Even though we are overwhelmed with work, and last minute jobs can get a little frustrating, It appears that we have a lot of happy people around here. It might be hard work and long hours sometimes, but we have a lot of good people here and we love what we do. I love my job.

Pre-Cycle: why recycle when you can pre-cycle
Here is Brijanna Carbone, a senior designer here at Bloomin. She is not a huge consumer. She likes to make things last. Why recycle when you can pre-cycle. Do you have any idea how much energy it takes to manufacture a new truck… well neither do I, but I know it’s a lot. That truck is old, but it still runs like 20th century magic I hear. Plus Brijanna looks so tough driving an old Dodge Ram about. No rust either, the truck that is, well both really. “Why buy new when you can use a dab of glue”.
Brijanna is keeping the dream alive, way to go Brijanna!

Norm turned 42 today.
Today was one of our biggest celebrations of the year. No one loves birthdays more than Norman, our longest employed person here at Bloomin’. He has been working here for 11 or 12 years. He has always been instrumental in getting our daily tasks finished on time.
For years he has shagged paper, (part of our paper making process). Now he preps paper for our 20 inkjet printers. FYI – we use inkjet printers for full color printing because they don’t damage any seeds, anyway, Norman rarely complains about anything, except maybe when his shift is finished. You should see him on payday. Can you say BEAR HUG!!! Oh, and his moon walk… you would almost think it’s Michael Jackson himself.
This place wouldn’t be the same without Norm, I really love him, we make each other happy. I think everyone loves him. We even had three former employees show up for Norm’s party. One hasn’t been working here for over 5 years. Norm’s place is most certainly here with us.
