Why have I stayed?

                Office Depot isn’t just a retail job, well, not on my side of the counter. The Business Service Center, or Copy Center, is so much more then sticking a flash-drive in a machine and hitting print. Painters, Photographers, Designers, Carpenters, City Officials, Teachers, Lawyers and so many people from all walks of life come to The Center needing a problem solved. Clients looking to complete large complicated projects and for flexible design services because I am specifically known to be able to get any job done on time, efficiently, and correctly. I have people from all over Sonoma County, from as far north as Ukiah and as far south as Napa, passing other printing and design venues to come to me specifically.
                Being able to help these people, learning so much about coordination between different facilities, in and out of state, that is why I have stayed. Ensuring that clients never have to ever think about where the ball is in the air. Just seeing it there before them ready to go, neatly wrapped in its own custom designed little box, precisely when they need it. Even if it cause a sleepless night for me once or twice to get it done. I’m glad to.
