• This has been an interesting December for me, some good, some not so good and a few disappointments.  I guess I should start off with the good things first. I had ordered a new camera using my Airmiles and the checkout process said that it would be shipped in four weeks time, then my new waterproof and shockproof camera arrived at my office yesterday.  The other good thing that happened in the past few days is that for once I have finished most of my Christmas shopping with weeks to go. Normally I am that guy you see scrambling around the mall on Christmas Eve having not even purchased one gift.

    The first disappointment came a few days ago when the battery on my cell phone died and I missed some important calls. I had been working through the night and I did not get to sleep until 7 am and continued to sleep through the day. I missed some business calls, but the call I missed that really disappointed me was the wake up call so I could go to the office party at my downtown Toronto office space. Every year the management at my office space Toronto has a holiday gathering in the reception area and the reception area boardroom. This gathering is a great way to mingle with other office space renters and even do a little networking. Last year, I met a few people I had only walked by in the halls or waited behind them in the line to get a coffee.

    My second disappointment happened today when I learned that my girlfriend (who is a trained cook and has actually lectured on food handling and safety) had managed to give herself food poisoning while cooking some chicken at home. Her attempt at trying to justify her shortcuts was that she in a rush to go shopping for my Christmas present. I informed her that the best gift she could give me would to have her not sick and spending the holidays in bed with a bucket beside her.

    Speaking of my girlfriend, I was invited by her parents to spend Christmas with them at their home. This was going to be our first Christmas together. I made sure to buy gifts for her parents and her sister, even one for her sister’s boyfriend who would also be spending Christmas with them.

  • This blog writer recently attended the Telsec Christmas party for its clients. I observed a number of things that truly showed me why many of the clients who have office space Toronto at Telsec, have been clients for quite a while.

    Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves, the clients who have been office space clients for a long time, not only interacted with each other, but they were happy to meet newer clients.  While everyone was enjoying themself, many were also taking this as a networking opportunity. Clients were meeting potential customers and future vendors they did not know were just down the hall from them.

    One new office space Toronto client, who just upgraded from being a virtual office Toronto client, harped how much more productive they had become by moving out of their home office and into a real Toronto office space. Now that they had met some of the long term office clients and heard how their business has grow with a Telsec office, they realized the many benefits of having an actual office space in Toronto.

    Later on in the party, I heard one of the office space clients suggesting to others that getting together on a monthly basis in one of the large boardrooms could be a great social network event that would allow for not only business networking, but also to socialize.  One event they planned for today was to gather in one of the boardrooms with a big screen TV and watch the Obama Nobel Peace Prize speech.

    You too should consider having your office space Toronto at Telsec and join the many happy Toronto office space clients who like the fact that they do not need to worry about managing an office, but can concentrate on developing their business.

    And remember, at Telsec the coffee and tea are always complimentary.
