saying bye bye to a geek

sabs — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:36:50 PST

this is dhatt (aka a geek) and today's his last day in the office. for me it particularly feels like the end of some sort of era. mostly because dhatt was one of the reasons i was hired. he interviewed me back in the day and we had the best conversation about food and science known to man.

i'm sad to see him go, but am excited to learn what he has up his sleeve. and mostly i'm bummed that we didn't know it was his last day (no one ever said the official farewell date). if we had known we'd have had a pinata with the most amazing candy ever. because that's what i think of when i think of dhatt. amazing. and candy. of course the candy.

best of luck a geek, best of luck!

happy 1234567890!

in case you didn't know, and chances are pretty good that you did not, today marked 1234567890 day. It's a nerd thing, that link gives you more info, but if you still don't get it, don't worry. Just remember this rule - there is never a bad reason to host a party.

Luckily Kristy and Dhatt (seen above) know this, and threw us a last minute party. Here's an excerpt from the email that was sent out:

If you remember the huuuuuge parties for 1000000000 in Copenhagen in 2001, you know this is a time worth celebrating. What’s that mean for you? Boxes full of mystery Valentines chocolates in the geek pit, along with complimentary beer from the fridge (or a soda- we’re generous).

I have to say. This place is pretty geeky and totally fun sometimes. thanks guys!

so um, yah... did you celebrate?
