Reminds me of a press release recently supposed to go out from our Marketing Dept in another state.  Our company received a prestigious award from a customer which my boss flew to another state to accept at a big gala dinner.  Pictures were e-mailed to me the next day of him receiving the award.  I sent them to Marketing and requested the press release.  They are PAID to write these types of announcements.  I get a response to send the article.  HUH?  I sent the overview of the details.  A few weeks went by and my boss asked if I had seen a press release yet?  I realized I never had.  I followed up.  The response I received was "this was so long ago, why announce it now?"  Because this needs to be announced, it is insdustry news was my response.  A couple weeks later I received a draft, asking me who should be quoted in the release.  Does soemthing seem a little off here?  I am the Executive Asst.  They are the Marketing pros paid to do this type of work.  Anyway, I gave them the answer.  Have not see a final release yet.  Crazy huh, or is it me?
