Managers Notes or "Hey, that's my job!"
We thought you might like to know a little more about the "behind the scenes" at The Ice Center. Each week Jay, our Operations Manager and I, Kelly Lilly, Rink Manager, will bring you a little tidbit to give you the inside scoop. Have you always wanted to know something about the rink and how it works? Let us know and we can address it.
Kelly's Corner:
Would you be my friend?
I used to think that checking a Facbook account while at work was a sure-fire way to get myself fired. Using company time to catch up on my friend's doings or checking out new pictures of friends and family is pretty much frowned upon at any company (unless you work for Facebook!). Now that The Ice Center is on Facebook though I feel like it is my duty to update, post pictures, create events and more every day!
I like my job because the people I work with and for want me to stay connected with our skaters and see what they are doing and what they want us to do here. I benefit from their comments. I also like sharing ideas and keeping in touch. I am meeting new Waterbury (and other) residents and getting to know the area better.
Take for example Bridgeside Books. My friend Hiata Corduan owns and operates the cozy bookstore on Stowe Street and I never would have known had I not seen her post on Facebook. Now we are "friends" again through this network and we can keep eachother updated on our businesses. I am also recruiting her for skating lessons!
Next time you are at the rink and see the Ice Center's Facebook page up, know that I am not slacking but actually working on making this rink more well known in this area and beyond and trying to get more feedback from you, our customers, on how we can make this place even better!
I am on Facebook because, "Hey, that's my job!"
