Casual Day
beelinebill September 8th, 2007
When Mark Spencer sent out an email earlier last week announcing Friday was “casual day” there was quite a bit of buzz around. We had so many new folks this year, they had no idea what it really meant! A couple of folks from the marketing team knew exactly what it was: PJs, absolute casual; almost anything goes. Well, to our surprise, Mark showed up to a meeting in his penguin boxer shorts! Yet another day that falls into the category of, “you can’t make this stuff up!” I love my job. I love this place. Work hard. Play hard. Laugh hard! I took cell phone pictures and sent them to one of our executives who was in another location on the conference bridge. Response: SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you agree?
In this picture, Mark is teaching a class in Huntsville. People love Mark’s guest appearances in classes. He’s touching, entertaining, and aloof all in one. Yes, really! Throughout the day, people from sales, marketing, tech support and other departments came out of the woodwork for this event to see who was wearing what. Here is a picture of some of the fun folks.
It makes each and every day a blast to come to the office. It is what makes Digium what it is. Innovative, fun, collaborative. Unpredictable.
For new folks, its enlightening. For students in training, it is eye popping.
It was a very nice ending to the week!

What have you done?
Now one of my employees want to know when we are having PJ day??
Glad to hear it! It is a terrific morale building and fun day! Especially when the founder and CTO wears his penguin boxers and stands in front of a class of outsiders! They are motivated now to sign up for the next class! It’s a new chapter for customer satisfaction and loyalty books!
