Canadian gas and oil

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

One item in the news lately has been the plans of the country of Canada to expand their gas and oil production and delivery. After a failed attempt to have a pipeline built from Alberta to Texas, they are exploring other options. Now they want to deal with China.

They are proposing a 731 mile pipeline from their oil sands to the coast in order to easily deliver their gas to China. I certainly wish that the Obama administration could have worked out a deal with Canada so that we could have their gas.

Getting the word out

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

Since I am rising up in status at my job, I am taking on more and more tasks. It seems that the higher I go the more things appear on my desk. I don’t mind that so much as long as the compensation rises with it. That has been happening so far. One thing I have noticed lately is that we need more exposure to the public. It seems that nobody knows who we are or what we do. I wanted to change that if I could.

I looked into some of the various ways that we could advertise. The newspapers were one way and maybe a few radio spots would help as well. As I looked into the situation farther, I realized that I would not have time to keep up with all these things. That’s when I came up with the idea of using an Advertising Agency to do this work for me. After all, it’s good to let the experts do your job whenever possible.

I think I have come to a great conclusion. I will hire some people who can assist us with getting our name known. Though we may have to spend a little money to start with, the pay off will be big in the end. I believe that those who are higher up in my company will agree with my ideas. I certainly hope that they will as our company needs to grow. I believe that using this strategy will help us do just that. I guess we’ll just have to see if I am right or not.
