Having wrapped up my decade-long career at DEG, I’m trying to focus on the moment, but I can’t help but look back with fondness on a few things.

• Habitat for Humanity projects with Mike and Chris
• 2 o’clocker coffee with Andy
• Beer:30 conversations with David
• Greg’s 5-year anniversary townhall presentations
• Any project with Singh
• Sandy giving me a copy of his book
• Van’s Post-It illustrations
• Random Costco cake and cereal in the coffeehouse, courtesy of Sky
• Desk decorations
• DEG purchasing 100 signed copies of The AMPscript Guide
• Town hall meetings before they were off-site
• The #deglife hashtag on Twitter and Instagram
• Sheridan’s Frozen Custard on the annual Employee Appreciation Day
• Expanding into a new floor in the Corporate Woods office
• Nitro cold brew coffee on tap
• The epic Ben Franklin mural
• Leftovers in the coffeehouse and the post-Slack message stampede
• The office turkey vulture
• Black Friday Week festivities
• Installation of the DEG sign at the new College Boulevard building
• Dry and hilariously deadpan finance updates from Dayle
• 79 iterations of my primary passphrase
• New hire town hall videos
• Coffee cupping at the Roasterie and the resulting Evolution Blend
