Mainers make pledges for their professional lives in 2008

As many people endeavor to make New Year’s resolutions in their personal lives, some are also considering changes in their professional lives. Here are a few things Mainers plan to do — or do differently — in the workplace in 2008:
* "I vow to take a walk outside during my lunchtime instead of working through lunch or eating at my desk." — Patricia Counihan, director, University of Maine Career Center, Orono
* "To spend some time each week recognizing the hard work and efforts of others in meeting our mission by personally writing and sending a thank you note to a co-worker or community partner for their role in meeting our goals." — Michael W. Aube, state director, U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development, Bangor
* "I’m going to find a way to make minutes more valuable, because I can’t seem to find more hours in the day." — Sheridan Kelley, co-founder, Knife Edge Productions, Orono
* "I vow to keep working hard for an improved economy in Washington County; being prepared for the opportunities and challenges the new year will bring Down East; looking for new and better ways of doing business in, and out of, our region; and to let people everywhere know we are open and ready for business." — Harold W. Clossey, executive director, Sunrise County Economic Council, Machias
* "My professional New Year’s resolution is to keep client service my top priority." — Tricia Largay, Realtor, Realty of Maine, Bangor
* "I promise to take my Tupperware home from the office fridge in a timely fashion. I promise to meet and always attempt to exceed our guests’ expectations." — Amy Kenney, director of marketing and public relations, Hollywood Slots at Bangor
