So Monday was International Peace (of Pizza) Day at the Dogfish and what a peaceful celebration it was! Our crew sported the peace symbol as we made our way to the designated gathering place at our new office buildout. (Shout out to Frank and Big Mama for all the efforts behind the scenes.) Big Mama Sheehan gathered the team and announced a moment of silence and provided some history on this important day. And guess what, ya'll, your friends at Dogfish pulled off 100% reflective silence, i.e. coulda heard a pin drop silence, we were in the peace zone! Our First Lady o' the Craft Brew, Mariah, read the Dogfish Peace Proclamation and commemorated our brand new peace pole, extending wishes for peace to prevail in our homes, communities, businesses and world! An aura of goodness fell over our group as smiles and harmony filled our hearts and minds, and then we came inside to fill our stomachs on pizza. It's normally peace and love at the Dogfish, but extra so on Monday. Perhaps, the sharing of a better pint and enjoyment of hot and tasty pizza between our world leaders could deepen peace efforts in places that aren't our Milton, Delaware Brewery. Peace out!
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.
On behalf of Frank and myself, it was an HONOR to prepare for the celebration. Frank did all the hard work, buying materials, cutting the pole, installation, etc. I am so PROUD of this company and the team of folks that make it run every day. I know in my heart of hearts that yeah, the pizza was good, but everyone came out and participated because they are good people who only want the best for others! I am SO fortunate to be a part of Dogfish!
