Today we had a guest as Zapponian of the Day. Brett H. has not been around to do blogs lately, and now we know why. Apparently he has decided to take on a second career.

Grace likes to try to fill up every square inch of her wall space. Check out all her great pictures around her desk.

You Heard right, Our 2280 office building has a Generator capable of powering the entire building in case of a power outage! Our very own Facilities team inspects it daily and runs it for 30 minutes once a week to ensure it is ready in case of an Emergency. Not only does this allow us to work if the electricity goes out, it also allows our customers to continue to place orders! If you're a fan of Chocolate Milk, you will also be happy to know that it will stay fresh and cold in the cooler if we happen to lose power! Bottoms up!

Augusta is one of our most Loyal Team Members, and also has some very special plans for Valentines Day! She also has a couple questions of her own, which we will get to later. Hey Augusta, What do you have in that Vision Planner???

Today at the office we held our Zappos Spoken Word performances. This forum allows Zappos employees to show some of their own individual personality and interests by reading some of their own work, someone else's work, poetry, lyrics, monologues, improv, song, dance or any other art form they want to display for their peers.

The Spoken Word is held every two months, after Zappos Idol. Thank you for everyone who participated. Check out the clip from this months featured performer, Zappos very own "Mayor", Jerry T.

Our friendly help desk is always trying to come up with new ways to provide a fun atmosphere for everyone here at Zappos. In the spirit of Valentines Day, they decided to set up a "free hugs" area to brighten everyone's day.

Make sure you stop at the front lobby to pick up your free hug!

Each month our Customer Loyalty Team participates in activities that work on learning and living each of Zappos core values. This past month they participated in a piggy bank contest that incorporated core value #2 - "Embrace and Drive Change."

Each team built a bank, and then tried to see which team could collect the most change. All the money collected was donated to the Nevada Childhood Caner Foundation. Here is Lauren C. showing how her teams bank works.

Our Tall and Talented Jason M shows you how he does More with Less, in Episode 2 of this new series. All of our Video Descriptions are done in our Las Vegas Headquarters, and this video contains a little behind the scenes action as well!

When he's not Rocking the Phones in CLT, Ryan is a Videographer in his spare time. We wanted him to see what it was like to be on the other side of the camera for once, and we have to admit, He's pretty cool! Very nice Back Scratcher by the way, where do I get one of those?

I’m sure when many of us at Zappos hear the word socks, the first thing we think of is the things that go on your feet before your shoes. However, there is another lesser know type of SOX that is very important to all of us here at Zappos.

The Sarbanes – Oxley Act (SOX) was created in 2002 to protect investors from corporate accounting fraud in public companies. This act puts accounting standards in place to assure a company's investors that everything is on the up and up.

Being that Zappos is a private company, why does this affect us? Zappos is known for being open and honest with their employees, vendors, business partners, etc. and this is just another way of doing this. Even though the Zappos executives were not required to do so, they decided to early adopt this policy and make sure we are completely compliant with SOX. This provides confidence in our practices to anyone who is working for or with Zappos.

Our wonderful TLD teacher Devlyn teaches the class, and does a great job explaining how all of this affects many jobs here at Zappos on a day to day basis. She also makes it fun and exciting with games and trivia throughout the class. Remember, this class is part of the Zappos Pipeline core classes, so check out the class schedule on the wiki and sign up today, Zapponians!

Nick V's team Nominated him for Employee of the Week for Many Reasons, one of which was for being a "Father Figure"? Not only does Nick head up the IT Department, he has also been working with Zappos since 2003. Check out the Video below for some additional Fun Facts about our Employee of the Week!

If you thought you're desk had some random stuff on it, check out Mike F.'s plethora of stuff. Summer Sausage anyone?

Don’t get to Close to this desk unless your looking for a Baseball Bat to the Bobble Head! Not only does Patrick S. have a lot of fantastic Zappos Culture awards, he also knows what Gophers can do to a golf course.

Thank you Patrick S.!!!!

Yes, at Zappos.com, we do sell more than shoes! Our wonderful in-house singing trio is at it again, and this time they wrote their own clothing-themed song for the masses!

The song that they have written and performed for our blogs will soon be featured on our Zappos Customer Loyalty phone service. I would tell you more, but I'll let the music do the talking. (And yes, that's a very obscure Aerosmith reference)

Take it away, ladies!

One of the ways our Customer Loyalty Team here at Zappos likes to "WOW" our customers is by connecting with them personally through handwritten cards. Let Candace C. in CLT explain how this is done.
