Portland Public Transporation and the Zen of Office Management 5

Posted by Robby Russell Tue, 10 Oct 2006 17:33:00 GMT

One of the coolest parts about my job (aside working with cool people everyday)... is getting a say in where we spend some of our money as a company. One of the things that Allison and I decided that we really wanted to do as a company was encourage sustainable business and growth in our local community. Everyone here loves Portland, Oregon.

This screenshot was taken after we took headshots for our transportation passes.

Head shots for public transportation passes

Our awesome Office Manager, Nicole Fritz has started a blog, which she plans to, ”...not only to let people know what goes on behind the scenes at PA, but to give other startups hints and tips about cool admin things that I have learned along the way (from taxes to how to get the right people “on the bus”).”

Nicole has posted an article, which introduces people to some of the great tax credits that small businesses like PLANET ARGON can take advantage of… in particular how we are now taking advantage of a tax credit for public transportation, bike storage, carpool programs, and more.

If you’re a customer of ours or are running a small business… you might consider subscribing to her feed.

    You’ve got a typo on Allison’s URL (HTTP not HTP). :-)

    From a RoR list I am a member of…

    “My hosting company, I won’t say names, but the first part of its name is made up of a celestial body that orbits a sun and the second part of its name is a chemical element, deleted my user account by accident the other day. So my blog is gone, but worse, so are my subversion repositories. But what ticks me off is they don’t have a backup of my virtual account (I’m a virtual user since I’m on a shared plan).”

    This happened to an account I had with you guys a month or so ago… do you guys know WTF you are doing?

Share your thoughts... (really...I want to hear them)
