Welcome the second of our ongoing employee profiles series, featuring the incomparable Michael (Don’t call him Mike)!
You may recognize Michael from previous blog post photos as the only person with a consistently stone-cold expression on his face. “Smiling is for ze weak”, he explains.
With the summer season hitting us here in Vancouver (and presumably other parts of the world as well), clearly we needed to install a BBQ grill on our 9th floor patio.
Jack, our loving provider, went out and procured a grill of the finest quality, as well as some benches for us to park our keisters on while we indulge in the delights of the BBQ’s flames.
No Name brand burgers and buns make the mod_perl handling so much easier.
We were in a quandry as to how to entertain our British clients on their visit here to Vancouver. As British Columbians, we’re somewhat oblivious to the natural beauty surrounding us, tending to assume that our city and environs are boring – hardly of any interest to those from a place as historic as Europe.
Take our office’s location. We bill the Sun Tower as “historic” on our website, though at only 95 year old, its historic quotient is just not as impressive as we are fond of believing. As our guests entered our office, I overheard Brit #1 (Pete) remark to Brit #2 (Chris), “Cute new modern building eh?” (OK, so he didn’t say ‘eh’, this was added for Canuck flavouring. In fact, the entire conversation may have been fabricated, but there’s no proof of that.)
Come along with us while we walk you through our riveting rafting adventure!
