Six Aparty

I can't remember, but I think I was the 7th employee or so. Now we're like 115 and growing. With spouses and guests, the party was huge. Last year we had our party in our SOMA office that was spanking new back then. This year, we rented out a restaurant.

For me, this party was a nice occasion to admire how far we've come. For those of us who have worked at Six Apart for 2 years or so, we are "old-timers." We just can't believe how we've grown. What? We're actually a company instead of a group of smart, hard-working people having fun on this blogging project? When did that happen?

It was a great fun party, but even more so, I spent a lot of time feeling proud of us. I've never felt so personally connected to a company. This is a group of people I care about and feel we share an incredible experience. I've made good friends, even meeting up with some at Burning Man. After all, we know a lot about each others' personal lives via our blogs!

I don't blog much about work, but I do want to take this moment to say I can't believe my luck to have stumbled into this situation. It's such a pleasure to love where I work and with whom I work.
