Pharmalot… Pharmalittle… The Weekend Nears
1 CommentBy Ed Silverman // January 13th, 2012 // 7:03 am
And so, another working week is about to draw to a close. And not a moment too soon, yes? This is, of course, our signal for daydreaming about weekend plans. And it will be an extended weekend here in the states. Our agenda is, as always, rather modest. We plan to spend time with our short people, catch up on some reading, take a nap or two, and tidy up around the corporate campus. What about you? Will you spend time with someone special? Maybe enjoy the great outdoors? Perhaps this is an opportunity to think big thoughts about the future. Whatever you do, be safe and enjoy. See you soon…
