(and why I didn't write poetry at P&G)

By Deb McMillan © 2008

Seventeen +4 good years with Procter
The new things I learned, the opportunities,
The people I met and visited and knew,
Even in other countries, Oh, how I grew!

Life will go on after Procter
Although some will ask ‘How?’
Procter has taught us to plan and to accept what’s in store,
I just wished I saved a little bit more.

I won’t be retiring with only 65 credits.
But my plan is in place
It’s past time to start the new race
Buying and selling ugly houses as much and as fast as I plan.

This is just one more opportunity from Procter
I am anxious and excited all at the same time
I’m getting lots of pay & $5K
To learn from the masters who invest in real estate every day!

If you need a summer project for your kid or nephew,
Or you want to invest your money in my fixer-upper too,
I’m sure I can find a house that will need more than a little TLC,
So just call me!

I’m sure I won’t pay well
But experience shows
That once they do this job well
They’ll be an expert that everybody knows!
(Proctoidism: A golden opportunity is a job nobody wants!)

And remember: Febreeze works for smoke;
Odorxit for smells of BM & urine (I’ll never get away from it)
Call me @ 877-odorxit!
It’s the best thing on the market for urine smell curin’
(The best product available to eliminate the smells of what’s left in a stinky, ugly fixer-uppers!)

Need help putting on a Trade Show?
Need vendors, hotels, travel, or meals or benefits new?
Call me again,
I’ll be doing that too.

You can still reach me easily by computer for politics, cartoons & jokes
@yahoo (debmcmillan@yahoo.com) in my dream home & final office
That I won’t be leaving
Unless I am moved out kicking and screaming!

What Procter has taught me I will always hold dear:
“Seize the Opportunity! Back your argument with data,
Ask for forgiveness not permission, Always ask, the worst they can tell you is no, (oops! That’s real estate!)
It’s all in your attitude, “
My new life will only improve from here.

I know as long as I stick to it,
That with my determination,
Positive attitude, and networking,
I will do it!

But I will miss you all
Those who are staying – Good luck! Keep a good attitude and force change!
If Procter is to succeed you must be committed.
YOU are who will make Procter succeed!
If the stock is to be high, your attitude and idea energy will be why.

I’ve heard it said, “the good are all leaving”
True. But I say “the good are all staying”
We started on the same path
Now we are taking different paths to get to our next destination.

Those who start new adventures - You can do it!
We were the best when we walked into Procter.
Procter has allowed us to be much more.
If we fail anywhere, we’ve no one to blame but ourselves!

May God Bless! My heart with always be with you and P&G.
