Our AWESOME Week in Review 8.16.2013

August 16, 2013 by Jason Gazaway

This week we celebrated a few very awesome birthdays around the office – both Craig & Christin (our Owners) and mine! (I will let you figure out whose was the most important. I will not get into that debate.) Above is the end result of the fun we had trashing…errr…,I mean decorating with love, Craig’s office. There were even racks of inventory that showed up in his office…yes, that is the randomness of this place! It is never a dull moment around here when it comes to celebrating birthdays and partying.

Well, sometimes the celebrations are not as enjoyable for us. Especially when we have team members moving on to their next stage in life. This week we had two team members depart from CK – Kyle, from our Sales Account Management team, and Jonathan from our Shipping team. Kyle is moving off to Florida to hang out with Mickey Mouse and play on the beaches. Jonathan is going back to school full time. Here are a few pics of their send offs:

We wish both of them the best of luck. And as always [Read more…] about Our AWESOME Week in Review 8.16.2013

Our AWESOME Week in Review – 7.12.2013

It’s an old fashion beard off around the CK office. Awesome, right? Yes, this may be an attempt by some of the guys around here to exert their manliness, but it is all in good fun, right? Facial hair is always a topic of discussion and held in high regards around the office, even to the point to where Geoff and Brian from our Product Management department cried a bit when they shaved their beards off for the contest. The contest will last two weeks and prizes will be awarded to the longest beard and the best looking. The clean-shavin’ crew above are the ones participating this time around – from top-left – Me, Jason S., Brian, Jeremy, and Geoff (center). Trust me when I say it has been a true competition, even to the point of where Brian and Geoff were researching vitamins to take to help their beards grow faster. Be on the lookout for a blog soon with the winners and pics of the losers and their new beards afterwards.

This week we added another Shipping Expert into the craziness of the CK office and warehouse. But wait… there is more to this normal looking (yeah, I know that is a stretch!) guy. He has a secret identity! (Actually two of

This week we celebrated the birthday of our amazingly talented, and a little bit crazy, Design Coordinator, Jeremy. He is a little bit of a supper hero/comics and Lego buff, so we decorated his work area appropriately with Avengers, Spiderman, Batman decor, and about a gallon of confetti. The best way to imagine what it actually looked and felt like would be to think of a 6 year old boy’s birthday party. (Which is appropriate for him!) Also, he was not looking forward to turning 32 so much that we skipped it for him and went straight to 33.

I thought this was a cool shot that one of the guys captured this week back in our warehouse area. All of the nice, new CK logo’ed boxes all lined up to go to their new homes. And we [Read more…] about Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 6.14.2013

Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 4.12.2013

Well it was that time again, time for the Quarter 2 kick-off meeting! It is always a blast at these meetings…never a dull moment. This time around we kicked it off with some Chick-fil-a biscuits and then everyone got ready to get to work and start “framing up” with their Home Depot aprons. This quarter our theme is Framing Up. We have laid the foundations now we are starting to build the walls around becoming Experts in Awesome. We did a quick review of last quarter and what we were able to accomplish, we also recognized our first set of Gold Star core value award winners for Q1: It was a great meeting rolling out the plans for the quarter. We are going to be busy, but our customers and community are going to reap the benefits!

We had a crazy amount of birthdays and CK anniversary celebrations this week! It was kind of nuts, but we sure do like to party around here. We celebrated the birthdays of [Read more…] about Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 4.12.2013

Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 2.15.2013

It was that special day of the year where there was an abundance of chocolate, love, and flowers everywhere…Valentine’s Day! (Or for all of those singles out there… Singles Awareness Day.) We decided to help “set the mood” in server rooms all across the world with a few of our own CK Valentine’s Day cards, which seemed to be a hit on our Facebook & Twitter pages.

Four of us went to a conference this week in sunny Orlando. We got to hear from some amazing speakers and meet some awesome people, but of course the a trip to Orlando would be crazy without a Disney experience. With that in mind, we decided to hit up four Disney parks in one [Read more…] about Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 2.15.2013

Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 2.8.2013

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
