Yes, my friends, yes, there are many advantages and fun parts of working at Zappos. Butone of my favorites, personally, is the piece of modern technology in our front lobby. The machine of wonder and joy to hundreds. The invention that revolutionized the way in which we pop...um...corn?
Yes. That machine. Zappos has it's very own Popcorn Machines in our 2280 and 2300 building lobbies..this is to the delight of many a popcorn fan.
There is even a multitude of flavorings to sprinkle on said popcorn....from hot to sweet, they have it all! Including melted butter!
Our help desk members maintain the machine and make a new batch every hour or so to keep it fresh. Our own Christina E. caught this machine in action!
Help Desk and...well, popcorn....we salute you!

For those of you who didn't notice the new wraps on our company cars you need to take a field trip to the parking lot outside 2280 and check 'em out! There's only one word to describe these new whimsical graphics, and that is WOW! The new graphics are a wonderful display of the overall light-hearted spirit that is Zappos.com.

Thanks to our Creative Service Design Team!

A group of Zapponians had a run in with a furry little creature this weekend while exploring the mountains of California....a small woodland creature referred to as a.....squirrel? We don't have those in Indiana, I don't believe. Our very own Help-Desk Extraordinaire Renna C. caught it on video and wrote a recollection of the events as they unfolded, along with her frightening trip on the "Tram-O-Death". Take it, Renna!

"It was just around noon on Saturday the 2nd. A group of Zappos employees were making their way to hike San Jacinto. In order to get to the trail head... climbers must take the Palm Springs Tram up the mountain to 8,516ft in elevation. Now, for those who are afraid of heights... this tram should be known as Tram-o-Death. Really! Just ask Vanessa L. just how "wonderful" this ride is.
Well, after being traumatized on the tram-o-death for 15 minutes... us volunteers stopped to eat at the restaurant within the tram station. All of a sudden, in walks the chubbiest squirrel I have ever seen! He obviously had been inside the restaurant before, so we made the decision to lure the newly named "Meryl" to our table with bread and potato wedges. Vanessa L. took an instant liking to Meryl, as you can see in the video. He was definitely the highlight of our time on the mountain!"

Behold, the power of the Squirrel.

Thanks Renna! Watch out for the woodland creatures, they are everywhere!
