Most of us come to work on our birthdays because we enjoy the people we work with, as well as to to see what they have cooked up for us. While we usually always have cake for birthdays, there is usually something else going on in the kitchen. For Sandra A., birthday presents came in the form of her own office supplies, and they came wrapped in plastic! We've definitely all heard stories of this happening, but we always think it could never happen to us. Happy Birthday Sandra, hope it was the best ever!

We love our Zappos Family, and we really love when members of our family come to work and let us celebrate it with them! Yesterday Dory had a birthday, and a few of us wanted to let her know just how special she is. Dory started working for Zappos in May of 2001, and she has been rocking our world ever since. A few of Dory's duties include, assisting in the setup of our very first warehouse, setting up our very first retail store and setting up our very first Las Vegas Outlet store. She now leads the Help Desk Team, welcoming and assisting our awesome vendors and Visitors. Happy Birthday Dory!!!

Today, Kenny L is our Zapponian of the Day because he is graduating from College, it's his Birthday, well, on Saturday it is, and he ate pudding for breakfast. If this doesn't deserve a Zapponian of the Day, then I don't know what does.

You may remember Terry I. from a past episode of Things On My Desk, Well, now he has a lot more things on his desk thanks to co-workers Robert P., Jennifer G., and Alison C. They really wanted to give him a white birthday this year, so they wrapped his keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, chair, monitors, scanner, and pretty much his whole desk in white paper. Then, to top if off, they made it nearly impossible for him to reach his desk this morning by making a web of streamers and yarn around his work space.

What a great present guys. I'm sure unwrapping his desk is just what he's always wanted for his birthday!

Last Friday was Chrissie's Birthday and like all Birthdays here in Finance
we decorated her desk in a very crazy way, this time we added something a
little out of the ordinary!

Why cans you ask? Chrissie's desk is in a location that gets a lot of
foot traffic and visitors who stop to chat. When those visitors stop and talk
they usually set their can down on the top of Chrissie's cubicle wall and for
some reason the can is left there. When Chrissie realizes the can is still
there it is usually long after the visitor has gone. Most times the soda is
left unopened and still cold. Nobody knows why or who likes to leave their unopened
sodas at her desk and it drives her crazy. So Patrick (The mastermind) decided
to collect as many cans as he could to terrorize decorate Chrissie’s
desk.
