IP Celebrates Take Your Dog to Work Day

Posted by on Jun 22, 2012 in Articles By Crystal Schauf, Culture, Working Virtual | 0 comments

Today is Take Your Dog to Work Day.  Most of us at Intrapromote are lucky enough to have our dogs with us at work everyday.  We have even dubbed them “Office Assistants” and where would we be without our dedicated office assistants?  If your workplace does not participate in Take Your Dog to Work Day, please live vicariously through our staff:

“Georgie makes sure that I stay on top of my reading and never hesitates to tell me when it’s quitting time.”  -Mary

 

 

“Violet knows the importance of a comfortable office chair and excels at keeping tabs on me, satisfied only when she knows that I’m hard at work.” – Caleb

 

 

“Katie the pup is a bit of a perfectionist and thinks that the IP workday should begin at 5 am every day.  She’s also a great at reminding me to set my phone on mute during calls.” – Katie

 

 

 

“Buddy, a frequent visitor to our headquarters, is always willing to lend a paw to keep the office organized.” – Doug

 

 

 

Sometimes we even have a temp, who makes a fine desk accessory:

 

Then are those IPers who couldn’t stop at just one office assistant:

Don’t knock on my door without an appointment, or you’ll meet the wrath of Jessie, a/k/a The Wonderlab.  Then there’s Jack, whose level of office assistant professionalism is rivaled only by that of Mrs. Landingham. Jack is a little chatty, and Jessie likes her naps, but between the two of them, my office has been squirrel-free for months. – Annalise

 

“Penny’s internal clock should be studied. She knows – and isn’t afraid to remind me with a hypnotizing stare – when it’s time to get up, time for lunch and time to end the day.  Dudley is the resident cheerful worker, whose face and constantly wagging tail can melt away any stress from a tough day.  He does have a strike on his record for excessive snoring.” – Crystal

 

 

“Cisco keeps things consistent and loves his routines, which make it great for home office schedules. He loves to sleep at my feet and behind my chair (mostly to keep track of me in case there is an opportunity to play).  Daisy is kind, gentle, quiet, sweet and calm. If I ever have a bad moment or day, I can always look for a smile from Daisy.” – Linda

 

Regardless of size, breed, age or slobber, one thing is for sure: our canine office assistants keep the virtual offices interesting and happy, every day of the year.

Director, Human Resources at Intrapromote
Crystal Schauf is our illustrious Director of Human Resources who joined Intrapromote in mid 2009.  After graduating with degrees in Theatre, History and Italian (aka The Unemployable Degrees), Crystal spent her days as her secret identity working in the administrative world and her nights were spent running shows at various Chicago theaters (sometimes with a cape, sometimes without).  Wanting to be able to do grown up things like pay bills and eat, she left the theatre world and dove into the link development realm.  She is a huge nerd who loves to learn and has been known to trade puns with Mr. Dafforn. Crystal has taken the link world by storm and prides herself on being a pure white hat (aka one of the "good guys") kind of link builder. She is our resident movie quote expert and knows a thing or two about the Harry Potter. (Seriously, it's kind of creepy how much she knows.) She also has a wonderdog named Penny that entertains the rest of us with her antics. Crystal blogs about link building, interesting Facebook phenomenon and the occasional pet peeve, just because she can.
