Consulting at Christmas OOO

Thanks for your message, but as a marketing consultant, I've moved North this Christmas time to help Santa and the Elves with their pressing business challenges. The first is the soaring Canadian dollar, which has put a severe strain on The North Poles' traditional manufacturing base, resulting in layoffs amongst the indigenous Elf population and Santa's frantic search for re-financing that's NOT anchored in the sub-prime meltdown. Of course this being a government assignment with a limited budget I'll be back as soon as the funding dries up... oh, around January 3rd, 2008. I'll return your calls when I return, but given the great wireless coverage 'round the Pole feel free to ping my Blackberry!
