If you were to ever look at the Hammock Publishing company calendar, you'd see it full of meetings, deadlines, travel, birthdays and Hammock Days. What's a Hammock Day you might ask Well, it's the anniversary that each of us joined the Hammock team. Oct. 6 was that day for Susie Garland, so I threw a few questions about the day (and some other random things) her way.

1. October 6 was Hammock Day for you. How long have you been with Hammock Publishing? 1 year

2. What do you remember most about your first day at Hammock? That several people whispered "You're going to love it here." (They were right.)

3. If you didn't work at Hammock Publishing, what do you think you would be doing? freelance design and illustration

4. What was your favorite cartoon growing up? Scooby Doo

5. What was your most memorable day at Hammock? After doing a presentation in New Jersey, John, Bill and I had 4 1/2 hours to get to the airport. Between bad Mapquest directions and stand still traffic, we missed our flight.

6. What's your favorite reality TV show? Would you ever participate? The Apprentice. If they would have me, but I don't think I'm young or skinny enough.

7. Where did you go to college? William Penn College

8. Where did you grow up? Oskaloosa, Iowa

9. If you could switch places with any other Hammock employee for one day, who would it be and why? John Lavey, because I am interested in cultivating new business.
