A Little Panache

Have you done anything with panache lately? No matter what your job is, I'll be you could add some panache. Thinking "no, my job is boring?" Well, this morning I was greeted in our parking garage by a smiling parking attendant who handed me this rose and said "Happy Valentine's Day!" I can tell you I was grinning from ear to ear with this simple gesture. The rose is gracing my desk right now, and it's kept me smiling all day!

I also watched the Waste Management episode of Undercover Boss last night, and was blown away by the panache of the guy who cleans portable toilets every day.

Monday, I'm looking for some panache opportunities at Social Strata!

Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day to you all...

The parking attendants are pretty good with holidays. They gave stuff out at Halloween too (though not roses).

I just got back in after being out all week, and the guys clearing the parking lot, at work, of the foot of snow that we got, dumped a tractor loader bucket or two in the bed of my pickup. I grabbed a shovel and put it back on the sidewalk. There's my panache for the week.

Happy Valentine's Day today? A little premature perhaps...but that's men for you.

Having said that I can hardly complain ... in Wales we have it a little on the early side too. 25th January - St Dwynwen's Day.

But then 14th February is stolen from an old Roman ceremony - Lupercalia.

Sounds like a lot more fun than a dozen red roses frankly.

I agree Rosemary, we need to up the "panache" levels in everything we do! It is so obvious when we meet someone who does what they do - with panache. What a difference panache makes and what a fabulous word "panache" is!
