I Am Surprised, Excited, Disappointed. What about You?
Yes I still get excited going home and reading the Boston Globe - what a great newspaper!
I was surprised to read that the Norwegian Pearl has the first bowling alley on a cruise ship!
I am so disappointed that the market research industry can’t work together to figure out the respondent cooperation issue.
Yes I am surprised at how funny my kids can be without even trying!
I am so excited about the Boston Red Sox this year I have already blocked out the dates for the World Series on my calendar!
I am disappointed to read that we have just lost our 3,000th person in IRAQ and very surprised this has been going on for 46 months
I am not surprised Terrell Owens (T.O.) has been a pain in Dallas but I am disappointed it is in the media 24/7 and excited he won’t be here next year!
I haven’t heard anything but I will be very disappointed when the video that contains Steve Irwin’s death ends up on YouTUBE.
Yes I am still surprised at how nice the people are in Texas and how beautiful it is in Dallas!
I am very excited the Dow Jones went up over 15% in 2006 and hope for an even better return in 2007!
I am disappointed in what is going on in the Middle East and don’t see a solution anytime soon.
Although I am excited about global warming, I am very disappointed to read that it potentially means listing polar Bears as a “threatened” species.
I was surprised to read as of December 27, 2006 four of the top eight movies based on revenues were Cars, Ice Age: The Meltdown, Happy Feet and Over the Hedge–all animated movies geared for kids.
Yes I am excited about 2007 for M/A/R/C Research (sorry if this is too self-serving). I truly believe we have the right strategy, staff and clients to make this year very special!
I am surprised, excited, and disappointed. What about you?

The Steve Irwin death video will never been seen by the public unless his wife decides to release it. Once their investigation of the death was complete, Australian authorities destroyed all copies of the video except one which was given to Teri Irwin (see link below). Thank God there’s some decency left in the world.

That the Research industry is thriving
About CASRO’s Career Development initiative
About serving on UTA’s Advisory Board
That we have been successful in monitoring adverse legislation for our industry.
That we continue to recognize and work on the Resondent Cooperation issue.
To go to a baseball game this summer with Merrill and some other colleagues
Disappointed:
That we have not resolved the Respondent Cooperation issue
That TO still has suitors in the NFL
That Parcell’s quit again
That the Mets did not get Dontrelle
That the Giants drafted the wrong Manning
That there are still so many dreadful illnesses that we have not found cures for.

Happy:
