This is Getting Fishy …

Posted by hilstreet in corporate America, My animals on December 7, 2009

So, the day after Beta’s demise we had to hold another service in the woman’s bathroom. The Content Team Mascot, Dudley Beta Fish, died on Friday. He is already missed. Jenn is considering getting another fish.

Can you believe that all happened one day apart? Tiffany thinks something is in the water. Literally.

Fishy Obituary …

Posted by hilstreet in corporate America, My animals on December 3, 2009

After four LONG fish years of life, my office pet and the unofficial PR Team mascot, Beta has passed on to the aquarium in the sky.

In a small ceremony in the 5th floor woman’s bathroom where only close friends attended (me), a prayer was said for sweet Beta.  He really was a good pet – very affectionate (for a fish). Tapping the glass when he was hungry and jumping up to touch my finger when I fed him made him an exciting cube mate. Tiffany gave him to me when she was my Secret Santa in December 2005.

Someone please break the news to the Content Team Mascot Beta fish. And … please no one get me another fish.

God bless Beta!

Deirdre is famis!

Deirdre is in the Wall Street Journal today!

Not only is she in the Wall Street Journal … she is in the top technology story.

It gets better.

Not only is she in the top technology story … she is the beginning of the story.

For those of you paying attention: the closer to the top of the story, the more impressive.

Congratulations to Deirdre on being famis and for securing a sentence on what our company does! At the top of the story!
