With the year winding down, the last few months have seen the addition of a number of new Stars to the QuirkStation. Including our new array of Trojan

along with some fresh faces in the various departments, our reinforcements haven’t arrived a moment too soon.

While many workplaces start to wind down around the December period, at Quirk we don’t like to conform to the norm. As such we have hit a period of frenzied madness that has resulted in many a near-aneurism, and in many much-needed Friday drinks sessions.

I must admit, when the coffee machine finally kicked the bucket earlier on in the week, I did have my doubts whether we were going to make it. However, a short trip to find a replacement messianic device got us quickly back on track.

At any rate, I digress. Our new complement of interns are proving to be real lifesavers for both Tim and myself. They’ve helped us out quite a bit already, and Tim and I owe them a large measure of thanks for keeping our sanity in check.

Will, Kat, Garrick and Julia – thanks a lot! Looking forward to a great year coming up.
