happy hour

my company has made some improvements this past week to finally move closer to becoming a real software development firm.

the most significant step: happy hour!

i was honestly surprised at how many people showed up today.  normally, i try and organize events and they either are pretty successful or fall compeletely flat.  luckily, happy hour seemed to be an enjoyable evening for all.  it was an eclectic mix of co-workers, friends, ex-co-workers, and friends of friends.  i told people that we'll try and do it once a month. fox and hound proved to be somewhat of a disappointment with the service though.  maybe we can find some other bar that'll actually get you more than a drink an hour.

we're having an official company party tomorrow as well... so basically, it'll be somewhat a repeat of tonight, except the drinks will free and there will be pool and bowling to boot!

so yes, that's two company parties and a happy hour for 2006 and it's not even valentine's day!  i knew you had something left to prove 2006, and it looks like we're on our way...
