Hey all,

Dave Andreae (Tech Support) has now worked with Parallax for ten years. We're very proud of his contributions to support our customers. Dave has a positive attitude and a motivated demeanor, two of his greatest characteristics.

To thank him for his ten years of service we gave him a mandatory 4-week paid sabbatical. Dave has elected to take the month of June 2011 off to take his kids to a family's summer cabin.

Thanks Dave,

Ken, Chip and Parallax

    Congrats Dave and congrats Parallax for taking great care of your employees! I have 27 years on my job and I've never been given a month off!

    But I did have the best 25th anniversary party ever. Pizza, beer, and toy flamethrowing cars!

    Hey, Dave, congrats! I'm sure that about a week into your sabbatical you'll be missing Parallax (and vice-versa), so leave your cellphone at home! :)

    The heart of any good company is its people. And, companies that recognize that are the greatest!
    Congrats to Dave for earning the recognition and Parallax for being smart enough to celebrate it!

    Pardon my ignorance: Who is the tall fellow at the left of the picture? Ken and Dave I can figure out.

    Way to go Dave, great service. Who in the US gives their employees a mandatory 4 weeks off? Parallax! That is awesome.

    Oh wow! I got that one most exceedingly wrong. Some misunderstanding along the way had me thinking that Ken looked a lot like Chip - the same dark hair and 5 o'clock shadow.

    I should stick with things I know something about.
