Good Luck, Erika!

Last Friday we took Erika out to English for her last day at Roundarch. It was a fun time talking to all my coworkers… about not work stuff.. Everyone was drinking these schmancy beers by St. Peter’s Brewery. They were delicious. I’m going to have to look for them at the liquor store next time. And they come in these old, 1800s, style bottles.

And this happened:

And that’s all I remember. Just kidding. T-Money DID buy a LOT of drinks, though.

The night actually went way, way, way later than I’d anticipated. Somehow I found myself at Arabia Hookah Lounge in Noble Square until 2 in the morning! I never smoked hookah before, so I thought I’d give it a try. I shared the mango flavor with Josh and Anjum and Marlena shared apple. I’m glad I tried it once, but my throat was so sore the day after. I’ll probably never do it again. Ugh! Fun night, though.

Last year Dallas wasn’t able to attend the Roundarch holiday party because he was traveling for work. This year he was able to go and we had a great time. The event took place at the Griffin Lounge and reminded me of the Google holiday party a few years back at Manor. Those dance clubs in River North are all kind of similar. We rented the whole place out and had it til around 11, at which time the regulars started coming in and we decided to call it a night. I’d meant to take a lot of photos and only ended up with these random few. I guess I was having too good of a time socializing!

Also check out John’s photos of the holiday party.

Last week Roundarch had it’s annual Summer Event, which consists of an all-night party and an all-day meeting with everyone from all of our offices in town to attend. It was great to see everyone that I work with in other offices and the party was so much fun. And the after party. The after after party, I can’t say… I went home at 2 and others were still going out for more! As for the meeting, it was actually pretty entertaining… not like the dry all-staff meetings I was used to at other places I’ve worked. Great event, Roundarch!
