The Satisfactory (that’s what we call the office; get it?) moved to a cabin in Tahoe for a group retreat last week, because that’s the sort of thing you can do when you’re a startup (as long as the cabin has wifi.) I was slated to leave halfway through the week to get to a conference at the Darden Business School at UVA, but fate intervened: it’s winter up in them there mountains, and the morning I was supposed to head out we found ourselves snowed in. Fortunately the conference was put on by the Business Technology Club, and so they scrambled to get me on the panel anyway thanks to ichat videoconferencing.
Now, I could try at this point to spin some sort of vague allusion to how this kind of last minute problem-solving makes for excellent customer service, but honestly this post is just an excuse to show off a photo of my big head looming over the stage:
I tried once or twice to make a Godzilla joke but I’m not sure it went over. And check out that fancy wood paneling behind my head! Ah, cabin life.
Much thanks to Steve Toomey for the photo, the invite, and the clever solution to our dilemma.
