(“Darn Fool” Article further down)

I hope everyone had a great weekend. My wife and I are like tired mufflers – exhausted. We helped with the garage sale for our friends Friday and Saturday and those early mornings, long days, and physical activity we are not used to was a sudden change and took it out of us! But, we had a lot of fun, it was satisfying to help friends, and we got a lot done! So, we ourselves had a great weekend … even though I can barely walk haha.

Annnnd … yesterday we came to Great Wolf Lodge. We have some friends that we’ve made a near tradition of meeting here for one of our kid’s birthdays. It’s a hotel that is also an indoor water park. Pretty awesome actually!

On Friday I was driving down the road and saw a lady who was fishing a spare tire from her trunk. She obviously had a flat so I turned around and went to help. I changed her tire and got her on her way, but afterward I had a thought …. I don’t even change my own tires! If I have a flat on the side of the road I am pretty sure I would call roadside assistance. The last time I had a flat I had Run Flats and was able to drive all the way to the dealer to have them replace it.

The realization that I had about the tire, and the garage sale, is that it is sometimes easier for me to help other people than it is for me to do things that I need to do myself. Can you identify with that?

I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard …

Red Solo cups are a common souvenir to bring back from the United States. The novelty comes from the cups being used in many party scenes in movies.

We have some awesome new little friends in the Marketing / Technology area here at the office. We have a fish tank now where we have 4 friends living. Their names are G-Bic, Router, Shin, and Redd. As you can see we took advantage of the area to continue showcasing our fascination of Legos – Aquaman and Merman are hanging with them in the shipwreck. Say hello to our little friends!

Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 2.8.2013

February 8, 2013 by Jason Gazaway

This week (actually today) we celebrated the 32nd birthday of Chris, our E-Commerce Director. He tried to let it fly under the radar and not draw much attention to it, but we couldn’t let that happen! I will say this is probably the most random office decorating that I have seen here at CK. It has a little bit of everything, but I have to confess I have no clue what is up with the Little Mermaid head with Micky Mouse ears on it. That is just kind of creepy. Happy birthday, Chris!

This week we started renovating our current breakroom into a conference room (pictures to come in a future blog) and we began building a new breakroom in our warehouse area. We got some nifty new cabinets and we [Read more…] about Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 2.8.2013
