Some people just aren't born with natural good timing. In fact, I am one of those people who have bad timing on just about everything – jokes, smart comments, merging lanes, clapping to a beat, catching food in my mouth, you get the idea. Though I've gotten used to being know at the girl who says "who's that?" about a person who I really should know, before they are a safe distance away from me so that they can't hear my comment.

But now I have to add yet another thing I have bad timing with to my "list of things that I really should time better but probably never will" and that is having to use the restroom or "pee" at any time in my 8 hour day besides the 20 minutes that our facilities close it down for cleaning. It's true, that on an average week here in the Zappos headquarters (which is five days) I get up to use the loo the very same time our wonderful facilities member Laura E. (you may remember her from Zapponian of the day) has it shut down due to cleaning, three times. That means that three out of five times I have bad pee timing.


Laura E. now walks back to my desk to tell me it's time to go potty right before she shuts 'em down for cleaning. Laura E., you're the best! Thanks for helping me improve my pee timing.

We do what we can here at The Zappos HQ to help out our community and those who need help within it. So, today we hosted a bake sale within our offices here in Henderson, NV in order to collect money to donate to the Arthritis Foundation as well as satisfy the sweet tooth of our Zappos employees. Needless to say, it was a huge success! Of course the exceptional baking talents of our employees made it pretty tasteful to donate for this cause, but I am still blown away by the vast amount of generosity that lives within this office. And, I am proud to say that inside Zappos alone, we raised over $2,000 for The Arthritis Foundation! Way to go Zapponians!

If you didn't have the chance to donate today, don't worry, you still have time to either enter in the October 25 Creep Walk here in Las Vegas, NV, or give money to Zapponians who are participating in the walk. For more information please visit the Arthritis Walk Home Page.

Welcome to the third episode of 'Meet the Kids Content Team'. This week I got to know Anastasia a little better. I learned that she is a very complex person with a love/hate relationship with animals, and an obsession with German cats. Let's learn more...

Anastasia was born on a hot July day in Guatemala. I asked her what she would like people to know about her birthplace and she told me that they have a very pretty bird with an exceptionally long tail....that's all. She feels very strongly about animals. She is trying to become a vegetarian but frequently complains about her dirty 10" long goldfish named 'The Fish'. Sounds more like an old mob guy than a goldfish to me.

Anastasia is also enraptured with German kittens, i.e. kitties with funny and grammatically incorrect captions. She spends time scouring 'the Internets' and using 'the Google™' to find appropriate pictures for each and every occasion. The main thing I learned about Anastasia, was that she is secretly the funniest person I have ever met... a witty connoisseur of hilarity in a small and unexpected package.
