Office Hours
Friday, May 16th, 2008Ian Cohen held his weekly office hour today, as scheduled, at 1:00pm Pacific Time.
“It went really well,” Cohen explained. “No one came by, so I kind of sat there and just listened to the Decemberists, Adam Ant, Juno, RUSH, LL Cool J, some Beasties, Beck and a few other songs. I also wrote my mother and wondered if I was going to be able to fit into my suit for Jamie’s wedding this weekend.”
Tuesdays are Cohen’s office hour day. “I picked Tuesdays because of the whole ‘Two fer Tuesdays’ theme. Of course, I only offer one hour for my office hour, but whatever.”
Thursday is Cal McAllister’s office hour day at Wexley. Cal explains, “Thursdays are great. I picked Thursday because it was one day after hump day, so people get that out of their systems and are ready to meet and talk.”
Together, McAllister and Cohen offer a total of two office hours a week. To date, they have only showed up for two of them, but so far so good. Art Director, Michelle Crum, croons over the new format. “It is so great to have the possibility of seeing Ian or Cal. Even though they haven’t been in their offices for more than half of the office hours, it’s nice to know they care enough just to think about having office hours.”
Cohen expands, “We feel that if we act like we care about our employees, they will act like they care back.” And it is Wexley’s great acting that really separates them from other places. That and their good looks, chiseled chests, strong jowls, magical medulla oblongatas and stuff.
