Blog Names

Our business transformation has resulted in a lot of name changing. We are now Amway Global as we continue to move ahead with making this business better and stronger.

The name change has resulted in a few of our blogs needing to change names to keep up with the new corporate name. My favorite change so far is Robin's blog to SuperDu

I like this change for two reasons. First, it makes my own blog name, "Rocktucky Living" no longer seem odd or slightly strange. (And for newer readers, I grew up in New York City, and now live in semi-rural Rockford Michigan, thus the mocking moniker of "Rocktucky". Actually, I love Rockford, but I am not beyond teasing it either.)

Second, I was part of Robin's staff when he uttered those famous words of "SuperDu" at one of our staff meetings. Once we all regained composure, we began mocking Robin, and thus the term "SuperDu" came to stick. The name is appropriate for Robin for several reasons, including that he was truly a "SuperDu" manager. For those of you who don't know him, he's one of the kindest people I know and easily the best supervisor-manager I ever worked for.

Now that his blog is changing over to SuperDu, I can sit back a little and enjoy blogging under the "normal" name of Rocktucky Living.

Good post Gregory. They still need to make the adjustment on Adatudes and one or two others... :)

I actually have wanted to change my name also because I can't spell it right half the time. I went to Italy and fell in love with it but i'm working way to hard. ha ha
