Hey you! Did you know that in just one day...

it's gonna be may

Boy I love that gif. It's been a pretty popular one around our office this week, you know, since it's the best way to ring in the month of May and all. And it's also a really nice touch today since it's got a bit of nostalgia to it (and it's Throwback Thursday today). Anyway, I know you're really anxious to get to the list of all the happenings this coming month, so I won't sit up here and talk at you much longer. "GET ON WITH THE CONTENT MARKETING IDEAS," yells the crowd. "OK FINE" says JBuude, and throws more gifs at them to please the masses...
