Melissa L. wasn't always a Blogger, she actually started as a member of the Zappos Help Desk. She wasn't necessarily "Cut out" for her original position, and some say it had something to do with her excessive caffeine intake. We are very happy that things didn't work out for Melissa at the Help Desk, because we wouldn't know what to do without her!!
Zappos employees decorate their desks with things that will show others their personality. Since Holly liked Johnny Depp, she originally put a picture of him on her desk. Over time, it has grow to an entire wall, or shrine if you will, of attractive male celebrities that she and her coworkers equally enjoy gazing at daily.
For the second year in a row, Zappos.com employees got together for the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Bowl for Kids’ Sake. This is a major fund raiser for BBBS. Bowlers were required to raise $80 in pledges to participate. Zappos.com once again showed its commitment to the employees and community by pledging $60 to each employee that bowled. 34 employees turned out for the event raising $2,732. A Big shout out to Mi K. for being the top fundraiser with $180.
The day was a success! Professional bowlers and some not-so-professional bowlers alike bowled side by side. But, it wasn’t about the highest score; it was about raising money for the kids and having fun at the same time. While most of us barely broke triple digit scores, we all laughed until it hurt!
