looking at the big ole heap of leftover halloween candy collecting in the kitchenette i'm reminded of what a super halloween season we had at dogfish again this year. our second annual hops, props, ghouls & goblins week kicked off october 17th to our fiendish hearts delight. monday brought spooky space with co-workers tricking out their desk/lab/office/file cabinets/tour-room what have you for treats. tuesday we office types trick-or-treated all our brew-side brethren as they stopped by. wednesday was pumpkin carving day where the hr team rolledin 3 jack's strong! thursday was zombie day. we nearly fell out when our brewing supervisor seth showed up in a tie, but then we realized corporate zombie...he looked great. friday we wrapped the day with the littlest ones of our dogfish family when our awesome co-workers brought their wee ones in for some ghoul'd times! we had hot dogs and smores (thanks to jeff for his bbq'ng skillz), ghost stories in the treehouse and a haunted hayride on a local farm, thanks go out to our frank and ray for making that happen. hope all of ya'll had a safe and happy halloween...
so there i was all burned out after years of doing hr in the banking industry. then one day, it happened...dogfish seeks an hr director. can i get a what what? i submitted, i waited, i hoped, i prayed, i prayed harder, i asked others to pray to whatever they prayed to with equal fervor. finally, it happened. the call. the butterflies. the interview. the unicorns and rainbows! for me dogfish was like hello kitty and a super duper shot of espresso combined! i was hooked! then finally, i had the good fortune of being asked to join dogfish in the fall of 2006. did i jump at the chance? hell's yeah! i had the good foresight to recognize that if i moved and took this chance that i could once again work in an environment where i could believe in what i did, what we did, believe in leadership and believe that my contributions had meaning. it's been so awesome. our coworkers are incredible, every last one. our beer is wonderful, but working in an off-centered environment is the absolute best. do i thank my lucky stars? every day.
