This past Wednesday was my last day working at the Cornerstone location. I was recently offered to transfer to a location 15 minutes away from my house compared to the 40 minutes I was driving to get to Cary. Although I am happy to work closer to home and to be off from work on Saturdays, I am going to miss the Cornerstone store and it's staff terribly! I have never worked with such a fun group of people before. Here are just a few of the things I am going to miss.
1. The staff
2. Scaring Ricky
3. Dr.Gray's sarcasm
4. Listening to the Willy Wonka soundtrack when we're having a bad day
5. Having a lab with a door
6. Kevin's homemade cheesecakes
7. The funny and sometimes inappropriate songs made up by Dan
8. Having a Goodberry's flavor of the day calendar posted on our lab door
9. Tyler Byrd's temper tantrums
10. The "quote of the day" list
Here are some pictures from our Annual Frame Expo - this is always a fun event (minus the 3 hour long meeting beforehand) where all our vendors bring their frames and products and display them for us. We get to see all the new product and frame lines and meet with some of the actual designers themselves! Each year we vote for our favorite booth and that booth gets an allotment of board spaces for the year. Marchon was one of the winners - their Reps dressed up like superheros and I was excited to get my picture taken with Batman (our Nike rep)!
Meleah, Ricky, Me, Jennifer and the Docs
Dan, Kevin and Tyler
Ty, our Oakley rep
When I first came to Cornerstone I kept hearing these funny stories about one of the PSR's named Ricky (who was on vacation at the time). Everyone kept telling me, "I have never met anyone like this guy, I can't wait for you to meet him." So, for the first week I was there I was filled in on all these stories about Ricky. When I finally got to meet him, I remember coming home and telling Carter, "I met Ricky today...I have never met anyone like this guy, I can't wait for you to meet him!". Ricky is one of the easiest people to scare and his reactions are priceless.
For my last day at Cornerstone, I wanted to scare Ricky and catch it on video. I put a black sweater on and a Scream mask that Kevin had on hand for this type of situation. We set up a chair facing the wall in the storage room and I sat there quietly waiting for Ricky...Kevin recorded it on video for me...Enjoy!
(Note: This video was taken after we clocked out and closed the store for the evening.)
Though Cornerstone will be missed, 540 will not...
