What makes for an Off-Centered Cinco De Mayo? Two things: have it at the Dogfish and hold it on May 15. Come to think of it, this actually makes my post a whole lot more timely than it would seem. That's right, last week we donned our sombreros, danced the macarena and got down to Rico Suave (yeah, we know his name ain't Rico) and had some delicious grubbin courtesy of our fabulous coworkers. Special shout out to Victor who had his friend whip up some authentic and out-of-this-world chicken enchiladas for us to enjoy. Some of us may actually still be breathing fire! My HR lovelies made the most awesome homemade dogfish pinata you've ever seen, period, and Victor beat the death out of it. Candy guts for all...hooray dogfish holidays!
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.
