Hello all! As I sit and try to write my first-ever post on Jajo’s blog, I can’t help but get distracted. At Jajo, this happens all the time. Whether it’s all the designers telling me my BlackBerry sucks and I should get an iPhone, 5 different songs being blasted from throughout the office or the Amy’s assuming that because I’m the Phi Delt president I come to work with a hangover like this everyday, there is always something to keep you busy.
But today, we received the best kind of distraction. In the middle of our enthralling social media webinar, the managing partners, Steve and Shawn, called the whole office together. They proceeded to tell us how we were all doing a great job and how much they appreciated us. The MPs also told us about their purchase of a company Flip Video recorder, to help us catch all of our fantastic office shenanigans.
I remember thinking to myself, “Wow, that’s a really nice gesture. No company I have ever worked for has ever done anything quite like this.”
Then they dropped a bomb on us. They got one for everyone in the office! Even me, the intern!
After the announcement, it was like the final scene from Rudy. The one where the little kid from the steel mill town finally gets his chance to play and is carried off the field on the shoulders of his teammates. It was crazy! Shawn had Gatorade poured on him, Fortune was jumping around like the little leprechaun and the ladies starting spontaneously chanting, “Jajo, Jajo, Jajo…!”
What a great Friday. What a great internship. Thanks Jajo. And America, look out for hundreds of videos via Jajo employees’ new Flip Video recorders!
