*** One Paragraph Pitch:

Hi Ned,

I would like to submit the enclosed copy as my one-paragraph pitch.

Thanks,

Leslie Strazzullo

My name is Leslie Strazzullo and I am a marketing and communications professional looking to transition from Telecommunications to Renewable Energy. Currently I am living and working in Milan for PGT Photonics, a former Pirelli Group company specializing in highly-engineered optical components, modules and transport systems for telecommunications infrastructures. Functionally, I am interested in EMEA marketing communications opportunities as a full-time employee or contract worker. As an MBA-educated professional, I am well versed at providing mass-market messaging for the most complex of technical issues. My background includes significant experience in several marketing disciplines (traditional and new marketing, product management, corporate communications, and event management) as well as five-plus years of work experience abroad in b2b companies. I am accustomed to both fast-paced and start-up environments and can wear multiple hats at any given time. What's more, I speak Italian and I have the necessary legal documents to work in Italy. For more information or a copy of my CV, please contact me at ciao_lulu@hotmail.com.

Invite your traveling companions and fellow adventurers to respond to this query and subscribe. Read the newsletter at www.yourverynextstep.com.

*** It's been a while since we asked our JOTW subscribers to contribute their limericks or haiku. This year I will invoke a common Thanksgiving theme in our home, Hot Pockets, which I have suggested in lieu of the big turkey dinner. Send your “Hot Pocket” limerick or haiku to lundquist989@cs.com, and watch for the best of the submissions in the upcoming issues of JOTW.

Here’s Ned’s:

There once was a man from Nantucket

Who could eat so fast you could clock it

He would stick in his thing

Til the Microwave went “ding”

And sat down to eat his Hot Pocket

*** From Susan Burnell:

OK, I'll tackle your limerick challenge…

This year there's a new thanks tradition

It's meant to keep mom from the kitchen

We'll throw her a curve–

Hot Pockets we'll serve

And let thanks, not bird flanks, be our mission.

Have a holiday heaped with blessings,

Susan

*** Another:

T’was her first Thanksgiving turkey

Overcooked, it tasted like jerky

7-11 was scrounged

Hot Pockets were found

Thence came our tradition, yet quirky

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mike Pierson

*** From Mark R. Phillips:

Ned,

Thanks for all you do; we love our JOTW!

Here's my Hot Pocket haiku:

Melted cheese and ham

Ensconced in flaky crust

Too soon; burned my tongue!

Happy Thanksgiving!

– Mark

Mark R. Phillips

*** From Dave Johnston:

Hot Pockets, Lions

And the Packers with cold beer –

Holiday for guys.

A pity that UGA great Matthew Stafford will miss the game.

Dave Johnston, ABC, Cumming, Georgia

*** From Kim Burke:

Thanks, Ned. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. One of the things I'm thankful for is your JOTW newsletter!

*** From Hannah Buchdahl:

Thanksgiving Job-Seeker's Haiku

Meat and cheese are fine

but I'd rather find a job

in my Hot Pockets

*** From Cindy Starks:

Hi Ned —

Of the many things I am thankful for this Thanksgiving, your JOTW service is one. Thank you so much for all the work you put into getting this to us each week and I'm sure the many you've helped to find jobs through JOTW are exceedingly grateful to you.

God bless you and your family today and always.

PS — I'm not touching the “hot pockets” limerick/haiku contest, but I'll be interested in the results.

Cheers!!

Cindy Starks

*** Haiku

Thanksgiving Dinner,

I'll have turkey and stuffing

(Hot pockets for Ned)

Jessica Bernstein

*** From Jeff Richardson:

Ned,

I don't have a Limerick

Or a fancy Haiku

Just a Hot Pocket of Thanks

To the JOTW family and You.

Jeff

*** From Jessie Hackes:

Ned–

Not a Haiku. Rather a note to express thanks for your important and substantial contributions to a very large community of appreciative colleagues.

Jessie Hackes

*** Who are you?

And I am thankful for YOU!

For all you do and for this great idea.

Who are you, by the way? Beyond the name in my mailbox?

Vicki

(Who am I? You're not going to ask me what my sign is, are you?)

*** For Hui’s a Jolly Good Fellow:

Thanks, same to you, Ned. You're a courageous man putting such a request out to 10k subscriber! Nothing original today, but some words in any case: “The Master said, 'How admirable Hui is! Living in a mean dwelling on a bowlful of rice and a ladleful of water is a hardship most men would find intolerable, but Hui does not allow this to affect his joy. How admirable Hui is!'” — Confucius, circa 2,500 BP

David Coia

*** Empathy:

Dear Edward,

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! You are right–we have so much to be thankful for. Thanks so much for your efforts, empathy and hard work all year long on JOTW. You have made a difference for so many people in the field.

Regards,

Terry

Terry Kuflik

*** From Marge Kumaki:

Oooey, gooey cheese

Dripping on my mouth and hand

Must be Hot Pockets.

It's almost midnight

I need a big snack, quickly

Reach for Hot Pockets!

Bad for you snack food

But satisfying as hell

No doubt, Hot Pockets!

Most kids like this crap

What is wrong with their taste buds?

I prefer sushi.

Hot Pockets, Ding Dongs,

Twinkies, Pop Tarts and Ho-Hos;

Junk food junkie's dream.

Hot Pockets, fast food;

Eat what I want, when I want.

Now diabetes?

*** From Mona Gerber Milbrodt:

Hi Ned,

Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. The poems below were written — by me — while suffering from a bad turkey hangover!

Mona Gerber Milbrodt:

Hot Pockets on eBay Black Friday

Burning a hole in

My hard-earned, freelance nest egg

Damn you, Buy Now…click!

Hot Pocket Haste Makes Waste

The box warns to wait two full minutes

Before you bite into what's in it.

So pity the tongue, er, the one fraught with hunger

Now seeped deep in molten imprisonment.

*** Ned’s entry:

There once was a man from Nantucket

Who could eat so fast you could clock it

He would stick in his thing

Til the Microwave went “ding”

And sat down to eat his Hot Pocket

Eating Hot Pockets

I wonder why I discard

the crisping sleeve

*** Mike Sorohan’s entry:

There once was a man from Nantocket,

Who stuck his pants in a light socket.

He said with a shout,

As the flames darted out:

“Now that's what I call a Hot Pocket!”

Lovely Hot Pocket,

Destroys the roof of my mouth.

It burns; oh, it burns!

In Paris, I asked the vendre:

“Avez vous Hot Pocket sil vous plait?”

He replied with a sneer,

“We do not serve that here.”

So instead I got bouillabaisse.
