What Would I Do Without…?

There are a few innovations of this modern age that I can’t imagine doing without, because they fit my day-to-day needs so perfectly.

One innovation is, of course, the Internet.

Another is – the Peek.

Part of my daily wake-up process involves turning on my Peek – the new emails I get then give me an idea of what my day will be like.

During the workday, the Peek is indispensable in keeping me in touch with Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue for which I am Development Director and CFO.  The rescue group’s membership is physically dispersed – everyone is a volunteer working at their own pace using their own internet connections, and these connection points are spread out over ~12,000 square miles.  Email is the most cost-effective, feasible way to coordinate our activities.

The employer for my paid day-time job blocks access to personal email sites such as Yahoo or Gmail. So the Peek is the only way I have to monitor and respond on a timely basis to the rescue’s needs.  Without it, I could not organize fundraising events during business hours, and birds could needlessly suffer before someone could authorize paying for their veterinary care.

Additionally, the Peek allows me to be unchained to a computer during my off-hours.  I can be grocery shopping, taking a walk, gardening – or just lazing around the house – and be alerted when there’s something new in my email box, without having to push a button.  This is especially useful if I’m waiting for answers before finalizing an event.

Obviously the Peek is an important part of my daily activities.  So much so, in fact, that I have backups in case my primary Peek ever goes on the blitz!
