morning all!
I would say I slept in this morning, but I was awake half the night...
It was 65° at 11 pm outside, but 85° inside...sucks not having screens on the windows!
Lisa...Tempe has 175,000 residents, and is part of the phoenix metropolitan area with a population of 4.28 million
When I lived here in 1990, there was barely 1 million in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
The drive from the far east valley...where Cris lives...to the far west valley where Jay has a home is over 75 miles!
If growth continues over the next 20 years it could easily be over 100 miles!

We have a population of like 220,000 here, and a few little towns outside of the city. Its plenty large enough for me, I actually liked it better ten years ago when it was much smaller!

Thats pretty cool Mark. I grew up on a farm outside of a village called Codette. Population of maybe 500? next closest town was Nipawin, with a population of maybe 3000 at the time?

I think when I go back to CO I want to try for a place in the foothills with a few acres. I WILL have a tractor and I WILL find some reason for having it.
Crazy that Phoenix is that big. I can't imagine wanting to live there, no offense. Way, way too hot.
I've been analyzing numbers all morning running them through my little excel macros. I have a production bulletin to put out so I've been designing the layout too. I keep making a growling noise apparently, the other gal in my department keeps laughing at me and telling me I'm cute.
Edit - Sheldon in 2006 Vancouver's population was 2,116,581..so by now its probably right at about 2 1/2 million, same as Denver.

Oh I pull raw sales data out of our system and calculate certain measurements of our agents for the sales and marketing management...
Persistency is a good example. Its a way in which they measure the business coming in vs. the business that has lapsed by using a simple formula. When I got here all of these things were calculated BY HAND..on paper, with a calculator!!! If you can believe that! I spent some time creating an excel file that calculates the data for us.
Every month I create a bulletin that shows the agents in each state how they are doing in comparison to other agencies and states. I have to pull data from a few different places and do some calculations to show monthly/yearly data scores, and we also calculate the difference between certain types of products that are purchased. It can be a bit of a marathon sometimes.
I dunno how I got into running all these numbers. I'm a graphic designer...and math is my weak spot...that's the scary part.
