The Jive van was spotted at Home Depot earlier this evening. Some big dude was loading a ladder, a shop vac, and a dolly into it. I wonder what’s going on over at Jive…

I drove van 1 of the Jive 2008 Hood to Coast team this year.  It was 30+ hours of driving in two days, but totally fun.

I posted a bunch of Hood to Coast pics on Flickr too.

I’ve been watching the development of the Enterprise Octopus ever since Sam posted about him. (Yes, Sam, I know you think he’s a she, but he’s not a she, he’s a he, or so he tells me). Since then, he’s had to grow up real fast and before he knew it, he was being unpacked at the Web 2.0 Expo. I felt that he needed some to just hang out and, well, do what any Enterprise Octopus would do.

This is the Enterprise Octopus chillin’ with Michael, our lead web designer, known around the office as Sigler and sometimes Chibby or Chibbs.

As you can see, the Enterprise Octopus loves whiskey.

Despite the whiskey intake, the Enterprise Octopus wanted to try out a bicycle. We don’t allow riding in the office ever since the “incident” so he had to settle for just sitting on it.

All that whiskey had to go somewhere. I think this settles any possible debate about whether the Enterprise Octopus is a girl or a boy. I swear I didn’t coerce him into choosing one restroom over the other.

Paul, a righteously awesome dude at work, has some sweet sideburns. Check these babies out:

When I was on the train this morning (MAX, I hate you more and more every day!), this sleepy dude was snoring so loud, people were chuckling to themselves.  After 20 minutes, the chuckling turned into great annoyance.  So very annoying.

I almost forgot to blog about this. Michelle was a doll and sent my
team a batch of "dork" cookies. As you can see they are in the shapes
if various PDAs. It was a fitting gift for our weekend of work on the
exchange migration. Thanks Michelle!
