Today With Patty – Nov. 2, 2006

by Patty

The 2006 “Fast 50” Awards honoring the fastest growing privately held companies in the Triangle will be presented tonight by the Triangle Business Journal at a ceremony the Embassy Suites in Cary. I am looking forward to it, because we have several clients winning. That’s because we have so many award-winning clients and we only work with the best. They are Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston, Exhibit Resources and JDavis Architects. I will be at the Howard Perry and Walston table, which I know will be the most fun, because wild man Don Walston will be there.

Speaking of Don, we had lunch today when he and Steve Stroud hosted a luncheon for Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison at 115 Midtowne. Have you noticed I have been eating all the time at this place lately? Today was particularly good. They served a great salad and a sautéed chicken breast over risotto with the best green beans I have had in a long time.

Kipp and I went yesterday afternoon to visit the new building for SEPI Engineering. Their new building is amazing. It is just a beautiful “Art Deco” building that I have passed a million times on Wade Avenue but never really notice. The interiors are really well done, and I know this will be a great new corporate headquarters for SEPI Engineering.

MMI has segregated offices – not intentionally. It just somehow worked out that I am on the top floor with the guys and the ladies are on the bottom floor. Subsequently, I have a whole set of issues that I must handle because I share space with the menfolk. For example, I still do not know what March Madness means. I have decided that there is not a guy in my office capable of squeezing a sponge. What is that about? They get it wet and never wring it out, and it gets loaded with bacteria and all sorts of sickness and see no problem with that. Sometimes I long to be with the girls.
