Rachael and Ray are usually seen running all around the Zappos office, delivering packages to everyone. The receiving department is constantly busy with deliveries, so when they have a few extra minutes, they like to enjoy a quick game of basketball.

Ray came up with a great contraption for their basketball hoop, and from the looks of things, Rachael is teaching him a thing or two about the game.

Denise D is part of the KY receiving team in the warehouse. You may have noticed that Denise has some pretty rad art on her body! Taurie, photographer in KY, sits down with Denise to get the story behind the ink. Denise was born in Germany but her father, who was part of military, was stationed in KY landing this city girl right smack in the middle of the country! From her biography, Denise shares what she enjoys about life… good food, warm nights, compliments, hot baths, massages, hiking, camping, and most of all tattoos! Get the behind the ink stories straight from Denise herself. Here you go…

Everyone must know some Jeff! He really is fantastic guy to talk to and work with! He works C-shift receving, even though I have been seeing him all day during the day! He must really LOVE Zappos to be here all hours of the day! :) But who doesn’t? His beard seems to keep keep getting longer each time I see him. Maybe its me?

What Dept. Do you work in and what is your position?

Lead receiving C-shift 1 each. Receiving is broken up into 3 parts Unload, Receiving, and Put away. We have a lead for each and generally rotate out duties about every 3 months. Currently I am over the unload team. I handle issues that may arise with merchandise as it comes off the Truck-o-saurus Rex. And sign various paper work. Also making sure the incoming freight stays organized so we can keep FIFO alive.

Tell us a little bit about yourself:

I have a 3yr old son (ornery), a 1yr old daughter (more ornery), 1 dog (80 lbs of ornery) and a girlfriend. I have worked at Zappos since AUG 22 of 2006 been full time since Dec 2 2006, Live in KY since 2004. Come from Lubbock TX, home of nothing impressive. My hobbies include keeping the kids happy, playing video games, riding my motorcycle, and sleeping at any point I can.

What’s the best thing ever about working for Zappos.com?!

EVERYTHING. I never have been good at playing favorites but the top of my list I guess goes the peeps, free lunches, great benefits, the peeps and I bet the chiller system and super heroism when they arrive.

Favorite food served at Zappos?

TACO BAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MMMMMHHHHHhhhhhhhh Taco!!!!!!!!!!!

What’s your favorite thing to do outside of work?

Fight Club??? Oh no my fav is? Talking to my son really. I think 3 yr olds invented insanity. They had to have they say the craziest stuff.

Best gift you ever received?

Chicken soup. I really don’t even like it but I used to always talk about chicken soup for some reason and an acquaintance bought me a case of chicken soup for my b-day one time. Though I gave most of it away it made me smile, and reminded me to watch what I wish for because I just might get it….
