      <title>Portland Public Transporation and the Zen of Office Management</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;One of the coolest parts about my job (aside &lt;a href="http://blog.brightredglow.com"&gt;working&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href="http://www.stopdropandrew.com"&gt;cool&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://allisbe.com"&gt;people&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://daniel.planetargon.us"&gt;everyday&lt;/a&gt;)... is getting a say in where we spend some of our money as a company. One of the things that &lt;a href="http://www.allisbe.com"&gt;Allison&lt;/a&gt; and I decided that we really wanted to do as a company was encourage sustainable business and growth in our local community. Everyone here &lt;em&gt;loves&lt;/em&gt; Portland, Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;This screenshot was taken after we took headshots for our transportation passes.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/planetargon/228684105/" title="Photo Sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/84/228684105_19b802c9f5_m.jpg" width="240" height="150" alt="Head shots for public transportation passes" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Our awesome Office Manager, Nicole Fritz has &lt;a href="http://nicole.planetargon.us/articles/2006/10/06/its-about-time"&gt;started a blog&lt;/a&gt;, which she plans to, &amp;#8221;...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 &amp;#8220;on the bus&amp;#8221;).&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Nicole has posted &lt;a href="http://nicole.planetargon.us/articles/2006/10/10/public-transportation-benefits-everyone"&gt;an article, which introduces people to some of the great tax credits&lt;/a&gt; that small businesses like &lt;a href="http://www.planetargon.com"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;PLANET ARGON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; can take advantage of&amp;#8230; in particular how we are now taking advantage of a tax credit for public transportation, bike storage, carpool programs, and more.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re a customer of ours or are running a small business&amp;#8230; you might consider &lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/WhatDoesTheOfficeManagerReallyDo"&gt;subscribing to her feed&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
