What do you get when you mix a handful of Dogfish coworkers, several bunches of yarn and an assortment of needles...one heckuva good time, that's what. Today we kicked off the first of many future Knit-A-Long Little Dogfishies with our Compliance Manager AKA Knitting Empress, Marne Coppinger. Okay, so some of our stitches were kinda tight and some were kinda loose, but as Marne would say about our coming-along-knit-quality, "it's practice." So, while we can't commit to hand stiched Dogfish head sweaters in yours' or ours' distant futures, we certainly will suggest that whatever we make will definitely be off-centered, unidentifiable, perhaps, but off-centered without question.
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.
When you all become accomplished knitters, Bryan S. can teach you how to sew! A young man with SO many talents!
Thanks for what I suspect may be some good insider information. That Bryan S. is indeed a man of many talents. To us, he demonstrates a clear case of making the most out of great genetics...we think you might agree! Cheers to you and thanks for the message.
