Creative Director Michael Jager and CEO Steve Francisco surprised JDKers at afternoon staff meeting on Friday, August 7, by showing up in an ice-cream truck in the back parking lot of JDK's Burlington headquarters. With an impressive display of exuberance and skill that suggested a potential new career path if this whole "design" thing doesn't work out, Michael and Steve delivered free ice cream to all those on hand. But they weren't done yet. When everyone was adequately supplied with cones, cups, and sandwiches, they led a round of "Happy Birthday" in honor of JDK Editor Darren Higgins (whose birthday was that very day). Then, furthering the spirit of celebration, they managed to convince the summer interns to engage in an impromptu ice-cream-eating contest. It's hard to think of a better way to spend an August afternoon at work.
