Almost on a daily basis, you will find random, fun things going on here at the office, and it usually happens when someone comes up with an idea and just runs with it.

So the other day, our Cruise Ship Captain, Jamie N. decided we should have an eating contest. An email went out to the company, and the next day everyone gathered around a multitude of packages of Oreo cookies in the lunchroom, and the contest was on.

Congratulations to Ryan I. for being the fastest at eating Oreo cookies.

PURE nightclub sponsored an event for the 2009 Corporate Challenge closing ceremonies last Saturday Night, and gave our Zappos Help Desk several tickets to hand out to Team Members. Each ticket admitted 2 people and it was first come, first serve, so needless to say, they went fast! We definitely appreciate an excuse to get out and get our groove on outside of the office with coworkers any chance we get, so we would like to say Thank You to PURE Nightclub for the perfect opportunity.



Picture above are just a few of the lovely Zappos.com Ladies who made an appearance!

So this weekend marked the closing of the 2009 Corporate Challenge here in Las Vegas. Over the past two-plus months, we've had numerous team and many of our employees competing in events throughout Las Vegas.

We had an amazing amount of employee participation this year: From the team participants, the employees who were volunteers for certain events, and everyone who went out and supported all the teams. Because of this, even with moving up to a higher division last year, we ended this year the highest place we've had in the five years in this competition.

A big thank you goes out to Dory and Anne for coordinating all the events and making everything run so smooth. Also, thank you Ros for coordinating the blood drives that were part of this - look for more blood drives throughout the year. Overall, thank you to everyone who help make this a successful event for us at Zappos.
