School's out

It has been some time since I have blog. Now that school is out I will be concentration on the summer and having a good time. I still have some work to do on my portfolio. I plan to finish it this week and turn it in. I do not how well I've done, but I think that I have completed it as best I can and placed information that I hope to be relevant to what I learned in the class. As much I want to enjoy myself this summer and try to take my mind off of school, there will always be various events that will get me to think about some of the lessons I learned in the class.
The BP oil spill has brought many of the senses that Daniel Pink wrote about. Drama of the spill itself, the emphathy for the people involved, symphony of working or not working to complete the capping of the well. There is no way to get around what we have learned in the class. I guess now I will focus on how the company will try and recover from this devestation and develope ways to renew people's trust.
The types of commercials and public relations that will be used to get themselves back on track will be interesting to see. While traveling to and from Savannah this weekend, I couldn't help notice all the BP signs at differents exits. When I did stop for gas I noticed the empty BP stations. Emphaty played also in the fact that those people working for the company have to be unwilling part of the blame game.
