The #BostonShake: Having Fun at Work

No, this is not a post about the Harlem Shake. It's a post about how much fun I get to have at work. ​

Three, it showed that we have a big enough reach on social media that we could not only get a bunch of random people to participate, but also have three news crews and one online media outlet show up. Four, did I mention that I get paid to do this stuff? 

Haters are going to hate and that's ok. We had fun doing it and that's all that matters.​
