Sector 1 Shows Some Progress

Greetings, elves of Sector 1. We had a pretty good week last week. Here are the numbers:

North Pole Tracker Elves: 4,315
Freelance Tracker Elves: 561,887
Total Tracker Elves: 566,202

North Pole Tracker Elf Reports YTD: 17,692
Freelance Tracker Elf Reports YTD: 1,966,605
Total Tracker Elf Reports YTD: 1,984,296

Feedback from Santa this week for Sector 1:
I really appreciate the efforts from tracker elves in Sector 1 last week. The total number of reports coming in was exceptionally impressive. This week, I’m less concerned about the number of reports than I am about the quality of the reports. I challenge you to “think like Santa” this week. Imagine yourself in the sleigh, coming in for a landing around your own home and neighborhood. What does it look like from the air? What are the obstacles? Will the sleigh really fit in that area?

Just how big is the sleigh? Don’t forget, the sleigh isn’t just a vehicle. There are 9 reindeer in front of it. It’s very, very long – much more long than wide. When people ask me how much room the sleigh needs just to park I tell them “the space of 3 city buses” – and that is a lot. Now picture what it takes to park it. It takes a lot of space.

When you picture the sleigh in your mind you will see why I need very detailed reports. Tell me what you think. It’s okay to say, “Santa, it won’t on the south side, you’re gonna have to use the north side” or something similar.

Also, just so you know, when I talked with Elf Randi about things this week she agreed to we need to start focusing on the weather in Sector 1. I asked her to ask you guys about that.

Keep up the good work, Sector 1 – Santa
