Last night we had a pot luck at my house. It was also our going away party for Christina, intern extraordinaire.

Christina is only 23 years old, but she is so dedicated, responsible, hard-working and dedicated that she redefined for us what you can expect from an intern. Whenever we gave her a new challenge, you could see the hunger and desire in her eyes. Then she’d giggle demurely and you knew that she was about to kick ass.

She was a key member of our German team, helping with market research, researching and writing content, etc.

We are going to miss Christina, but she’s already told us that she wants to come back next year to work for us. So it’s not so much a “goodbye”, as much as an “auf weidersehen”. Henri, our new head of corporate development showed up, as did Emma, who has the first employee that I ever hired and the one that will continue with me in any company in which I have influence over hiring.

Jason, our other star intern, also made it to the party. His creative Philly dip was the star plate of the night, and it was accompanied well by Victor’s killer caipirinhas.

It’s good to like the people that you work with.
