Hello Microwave, Goodbye Katie!
By Amy Griswold on Friday, August 17th, 2007Within the past year, Spunlogic has jumped from 30 something employees to around 70 employees. In the two years (or so) that I’ve been with the company we’ve only had one microwave. When we moved from the Zonolite location to our Midtown location, it came with us. Of course, until recently having only one microwave was not an issue. One generally only had to wait a few minutes before they could warm up their coffee or lunch. Now that we’ve doubled in size, the queue generally built up quickly. Because of this, someone recently started a “Second Microwave Fund” via a Styrofoam cup on our sole microwave.
The last time I checked, there had been 35 cents donated, we were on our way to getting a second microwave!
Yesterday, as I went to warm up my leftovers from the night before I noticed there was a second microwave that had magically appeared!
It was donated by our fantastic Project Management intern, Katie. Katie joined us this summer after her trip to Spain, and has been a tremendous asset to our department. We’re really sad that she’ll be leaving us for her last semester at Mercer University (Go Bears!). Thankfully, she’s leaving us with a “warm” daily reminder in the break room.
On behalf of Spunlogic, I’d like to say “Thanks again, Katie!” Have a great semester – come back and see us soon!
I think I’LL take that 35 cents!
Thank YOU, Spunlogic, for a great two months! I’ll miss you while I’m gone.
Katie,
Please come back after the semester and bring more TCO students, I’m sure you’ll need an intern or two.
hmm… now if your interns bring kitchen appliances as well then we hire them and they get interns, who in turn bring kitchen appliances… nevermind, I lost the thought.
- Ames, I think you owe some sort of appliance.
I think the fact that Katie interned with us (after hearing about my experience) is far more valuable than an appliance.
Hey! there’s cheesy goodness ON the microwave instead of IN it.
