Breakaway News Volume No. 17 Issue No. 2 February 2012

Love Love Love!

Contrary to what the Beatles sang, love isn’t all you need. If you have a serious other, you also need expensive gifts, some chocolates, and to shave your five-o-clock shadow, fer gossakes. You also need to get said gifts and chocolates to your significant other on time, so call Breakaway. You can be sure that we’ll get those tokens of your affection to him/her on time. After that, you’re on your own.

 Ain’t it SAD?

 Breakaway Labs has proven that Times Square produces more light, measured in lux, than perhaps any other spot in the city. One boon from this is that people with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can go to the Square and bathe in the lux, which is shown to keep SAD depression at bay. So, you can go take in the lux, then spend some bucks by calling for one of our trucks, and maybe rent a tux, but only if your accounts are not in flux.

 Speaking of Trucks

 Don’t forget, that we have a large fleet of trucks ready to help you out with that delivery that’s just too large for a cyclist. From vans, to box trucks, to lift gates, and, our newest addition, refrigerated trucks, we’ve got your hauling needs covered. 

 Housing Crisis

 It happens. You made a large order of ballerina tutus for your next ad campaign, but your office is already stuffed with the rodeo props from the last campaign. What to do? Well, call us, that’s what to do! We can house your wares for as long as you need, and then deliver them to where you need them, no sweat. Call our logistics team for info and rates.

Go Mike Go! 

No, we’re not talking about Bloomberg. Our own messenger P511 took part in bicycle roller races. It’s a bicycle race, but without the scenery (unless you count a bar as scenery). Mike nearly beat out an Olympian, and did very well for himself, and for Breakaway. That boy done us proud!

Divided Loyalties 

As of this writing, Breakaway is experiencing a bit of a rivalry between the two offices. With both the Patriots and the Giants contending in the Super Bowl, everyone in Boston and New York is on edge, not to mention razzing and booing each other every chance they get. However, it’s nice to know that no matter who wins, a Breakaway office somewhere will be happy and celebrating.

 Stump the Band 

Last month we asked on what  building in the U.K. can one find a statue of Martin Luther King Jr.?  Answer: Westminster Abbey, along with other 20^th century martyrs.

 T-Shirt Question

 February 14^th, of course, is Valentine’s, but what Roman holiday, held around the same time, was its antecedent? The first person to call Tom Cromwell with the correct answer will win a coveted Breakaway T-shirt.
