Tammi's World

Turn of Phrase

Most bloggers have tag lines. Mine? This is what I'm gonna need for you to do...." Kind of reflective of who I am, my sense of humor.

Many people in general have nicknames. Given to us or adopted by us over the years. They tell stories. Stories of actions done, mistakes made, or just something funny that stuck like glue.

I've got a few nicknames that have lasted throughout the years. Linus and Bam being the two most often used. I've just been graced with a new one - Lady T. I actually kinda like that one.

Well, the same thing happens at work. Especially in the industry I work in. Your company has a TagLine and your customers actually associate that tag line with you, their rep.

At Tropicana I was known as Tropicana Tammi. Kinda catchy. But what most folks remembered me by was my favorite expression - "there's no such thing as a Juice Emergency". Not bad when that phrase stands alone. But, well, let me continue.....

At Simmons - the mattress folks - the last tag line I was associated with was......."Changing Lives, night after night." Yeah, that one got a lot of attention, can I tell you?

So we've got No Juice Emergency and Changing Lives, night after night.......Wait! I'm not done yet.....

Today we had a meeting to prepare for a show we're going to in NYC in February. It's Toy Fair. My boss and I were the only two there from sales. As we sat in the meeting my boss makes the announcement that "Tammi is our Toy Girl".

Yeah. That's what he said.

So.....No Juice emergency, but I'm chaging lives night after night, cause I'm the Toy Girl.

I'm making a note not to make Campbells Soup the next company I work with - "Ummm Ummmm Good" - yeah, my reputation would be completely trashed!
