Looks like our birthday boy Josh has become a foil fanatic. Josh made a foil helmet in the Spartan style. He is also holding the survivors of his Ding Dong birthday cake. You can see candles sticking out of some of them. The Ding Dongs come wrapped in foil so you can see how it continues the theme of the day. I wonder what that foil wrapped thing is in his other hand? Josh is a buyer for our Rideshop – see the panel he’s standing in front of – it’s from our Vendor party from last Summer and it says Ride Shop. Oh baby, Summer is almost here!

We also got a comment over on our Twitter.com aggregation page and they mentioned another very foilful page. Fun times at Zappos, baby!

Hey do we have any Firefly fans out there? <cough besides me cough> On that short lived TV series, they’d use the word “Shiny” to describe something as “nice” or “cool.” Well, those two meanings definitely apply here as well as the current day meaning – let’s reflect on that for a moment. So what’s so shiny about the look on Josh the birthday boy’s face first thing in the morning?

Why, it is due to this – his cube was foiled last night after he went home. The foilers really went all out – check out the foiled shoes and trashcan. They also individually wrapped all his desk accessories. LOL – shiny!

Oh some people were up to no good yesterday! In our Outdoor Performance group, we have a coworker (lets call her Karen) with a fur stole on her desk - it's been in the family for generations. Well some comedic geniuses decided to run some monofilament line from the stole to a remote location. The idea being when she came in and sat at her desk, they'd pull the line and the stole would move.

Here's a dramatic recreation of the special moment.

And here's a YouTube link! (sorry you have to tilt your head 90 degrees to the left!)
