At the beginning of the month, Ros S. decided to celebrate her friend Lucille the Ball's 4th birthday with a contest to guess her weight. Four years ago, Ros was given the idea for making a name badge ball from a guest that was visiting Zappos. He had just been to another office that had a large rubber band ball (we have our own giant rubber band ball at our Kentucky warehouse), and thought it would be funny if we did something with the name badges we give to each guest that visits Zappos.

Four years later, Lucille is still growing strong. She is now an astounding 13.4 pounds, and 41 inches round. Many participated in guessing Lucille's weight, and Ros has chosen the four closest entries as winners!

Here are the four Winners:
Keith G. - 13.4 pounds (yes, he guessed the exact weight).
Maria E. - 13.5 pounds
Shauna S. - 13.5 Pounds
Stacy H. - 13 pounds

Zappos employees love finding reasons to celebrate and eat cake and lucky for us with as many people as we have here at our office, it seems like there is at least one birthday celebration going on each day.

Today, is Lauren C.'s birthday and her team really went above and beyond for their celebration. Not only did they decorate her entire desk with cards and banners, everyone on the team made her a special birthday sweet.

Oh, and did I mention this was all done by the time their 4am shift started!?!

Happy Birthday Lauren!
