Friday the 13th is a Lucky Day.

I have never felt so hyper like how I felt last Friday night. I ended work at Fuse with a very productive client meeting and rushed back to the office, just to tell everyone to mark that day in their calendars. Friday the 13th, January 2006. I said the same when I met up with my partners Jen and Homer for our Friday night-out.
It was a record-breaking day. We have just closed 2 deals that day alone, amounting close to our total sales for the entire year 2003! Yun lang naman. ;-) Earlier that day, Dennis did a great job finally getting the client to sign off on the project we started negotiating for since December. And then, the perfect closer to my day. 2 big projects coming up, lots of details esp. on the production side. I was so hyper project details kept coming to my head so fast it took me an extra sec. (or minute!) to sort things out. For once, all those details did not come as stress... considering I was already on the way to a surprise birthday party. To me it only meant one thing, it was a perfect time to celebrate.
I felt like I wanted to hug each and every girl friend I would talk to next. I thought of having a night of drinks to celebrate with friends. I was in nirvana.

Whoever started the Friday the 13th belief as a bad-luck day... we have just proven you wrong! Not only did it become a record day for us, it gave us partners the very good feeling that we are on track to continue growing, definitely feeling all our hard work paying off. On all days of the year to get that, on a Friday the 13th? How ironic.
Now should we celebrate every Friday the 13th as an anniversary of sorts? Maybe I should shoot an email out to the Fuse team, to mark Friday the 13th as Fuse Sales Rally Day.
